Sir,-The forcefulness of R. Evans’s attack on G.M.’s criticism of films has left me cold. His opinion is apparently final. One wonders if he lives in the
clouds, as fiobody without prejudice could deny that for real life films, Britain cannot be beaten. Granted the Ameficans know how to put over the glamorous chorus-girl type of movie, but for actual everyday topics Hollywood hasn’t an idea. Every small detail is exaggerated. One wonders just how many British films R. Evans has seen. I grant that some British films are scrappy, but to completely wipe ther is as laughable as Hollywood attempts of filming ordinary people.
