Points from Letters About Films
Ordinary Mother and Ordinary Typist *{Claudelands) feel that a critic must have critial ability somewhat above the average and that although it may be a strain to some people to follow G.M.’s lead, they are probably all the better for a little straining. Rotorua says that, after reading the letter by ‘‘Let’s Be Honest’ (Listener, July 18), she now realises why there is a "strong antipathy towards the English’? among the’ people in the Dominions: thanks to the influence of so many American films, the English are actually foreigners, and their natural mode of behaving and speaking therefore appears in the guise of "airs and graces." Unbiased (Christchurch), also replying to "Let's Be Honest,’ points out that G.M., far from hailing all English films with ‘"‘exagger-
ated fuss," was recently vous. about the danger of ae a film merely because it is English. NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS Wellingtonian: No name or address. W. Inglis (Christchurch): On August 1 the item appeared on page 13; on July 25 on page 11.
