OI! OI!
Sir,-Your film critic in his review of Waterloo Road in your issue of April 12 uses the words "places like Waterloo Road, where the majority of really important people in the population live." This reveals either culpable ignorance or an attempt at some frightfully subtle form of propaganda and in either case it is utter drivel.
LAMBETH WALK
(Timaru).
(It may help our readers’ memories if we quote the whole of the relevant passage from the review: ‘Very effective use is also made of genuine local colour; which is something that has happened all too seldom in the past in British films, with their concentration on the Stately Homes of Old England rather than on places like the Waterloo Road, where the majority of really important people in the population live,."’---Ed.)
