Praise in Three Voices
"COLETTE: a feature on France’s greatest woman writer, prepared by the French Broadcasting System in
Paris," proved to be one of the most. successful literary talks I have heard from 4YC. Designed, as are, I suppose. all literary talks; to appeal to the widest possible audience, the feature on Colette differed from others of its kind by its ingenious and highly successful construction, It consisted of a swift dialogue for three voices, one eulogistic. one judicial and the third patiently enquiring for information. This was an ideal method for conveying background and the resultant picture of Colette and her work was satisfyingly complete, with, in addition, critical opinion for the connoisseur and facts for the uninitiated. And perhaps quite as praiseworthy was the playing-down of the drama of Colette’s own life-literary prisoner music-hall artist and great writer-which in different hands might have become horrifyingly soap-operatic. |
