FOR MEN ONLY
(Lippert) JOR MEN ONLY, which I saw a little time ago, but haven’t had space to mention, is an exposé of the worst features of American university fraternities-especi-ally their more barbaric initiation ceremonies. I'm told that Paul Henreid produced and directed it himself because no one else would tackle it. It opens oh a powerful note and keeps going hot, strong and horrifie for quite a way. After that, unfortunately. it becomes .a bit overplotted for a film that’s trying to say something. The complications continue to grow out of the main theme, but in effect they tend to turn the story into a personal history of a professor (played by Paul Henreid) who is fighting against initiation ceremonies. I suppose this is interesting enough in. its own way---among other things he gets involved with a girl-but the film really makes -its point only if you keep the early part of the story steadily in mind. :
