TENNESSEE JOHNSON.
Sir-Your Film Reviewer classes "Tennessee Johnson" among The Ten Best Pictures of the year, for Van Heflin and for being the best sort of historical drama. As an American, I cannot refrain from adding my voice to the storm of public protest which this movie provoked from nearly every progressive organisation in the United States. They protested because of the blatant’ felsification of history which glorified a President who betrayed the aims of the Civil War, insulted Lincoln and Stevens, slandered the Negro people, and comforted the defeated in any war we. win. A United Front of all progressive opinion proclaimed it outrageous and nauseating.
