FILM CRITICS
Sir,-I think that the answer to Mr. Hayward re the Disney films is not only unnecessarily tart, coming as it does from the Editor of a journal of the standard of The Listener, but somewhat illogical too, To suggest that: Mr. Hayward cannot judge a film honestly because he deals in films and shows them to the public, is the same as saying that a man who sells bread cannot recognise a good loaf, or that an Editor cannot recognise a good story when he reads one.

(We expressed no opinion at all about Mr. Hayward’s personal capacity to judge films. We said that disinterested criticism is safer than the criticism of interested parties.-Ed.)
