FILMS AND CHILDREN
Sir,-You report Mr. E. S. Andrews, producer of the Government Film Studios, as saying that the people in the film industry are as intelligent as people in the New Education Fellowship. I am in neither, but I suggest to Mr. Andrews that the people in the armament industry are also intelligent people. Does that fact make their products any less deadly? \ No doubt if "a bunch of intelligent people" went to the theatre managers and "guaranteed to provide a-good audience" for a children’s film, they would put it on. But would that prevent them from putting on films unsuitable for children on most of the other 51 Saturdays? When Mr. Andrews says that the feelings of the film people are "hurt when they are told that they are monsters who are turning other people’s ~children into delinquents," I feel sad, but I suggest that they would rather have their feelings hurt than their pockets.
