"THE MAGGIE"
Sir-Having seen the film The Maggie, I feel your critic is unjust in his remarks about the supposed guying of Americans. After all, the English secretary was made to look a bigger fool and the crew of the boat could be no advertisement for the Scots. Why would it have been better if Marshall had been a "fat, self-satisfied Sassenach"’? I think the Americans will be the last to complain about this picture. After all, they have done their share of guying the English; remember Danny Kaye? It was prabably a mistake to have an American in this film, on the score of expense alone, but I liked his performance.
