"WATERLOO ROAD"
Sir,-I don’t know how well "Lambeth Walk" knows London or whether he has spent nights on Waterloo Station with a respirator for a pillow, as I have. I love Waterloo Station in the odd way one does love such noisy; dirty,. crowded, human places. The local colour in the film Waterloo Road, even the little gestures and idiosyncracies that only a Londoner would recognise as a true and unalienable part of the whole, were so perfect that I had to shake myself to get back to New Zealand (unwillingly) when the lights went up. Or perhaps "Lambeth Walk’s" point of controversy was the phrase "really important people." I would suggest that he see another film----7rue Glory-and hear what General Eisenhower has’ to say of the men from the Waterloo Roads of this world-the "really important
people."
