PAN-AMERICANA
(RKO-Radio)
HIS is another of those films which Hollywood is currently producing to encourage the spirit of good-neighbourli-
ness with the Latin American countries, It describes the experiences, mostly amatory and highly scenic, of a group of journalists from a _ pictorial magazine in the States who are collecting material for a special number on South America. To judge by this and other films of the type, what the U.S.A is chiefly interested in is the noise made by its neighbours: the film consists largely of song-and-dance numbers held together rather precariously’ by wisecracks and lovers’ quarrels, and punctuated throughout by the itchy, wriggling rhythm of the rhumba, samba, and similar hot-blooded dances. But it can at least he said that this kind of noise is a vast improvement on swing, and also that, thanks to the personalities of Phillip Terry and Audrey Long, even the love passages do not seem as dreary and endless as they are in most of these Hollywood-conducted musical tours.
