THE STRENGTH TO GROW
(Pacific Films) , To mark the 60th birthday of Standard- | Vacuum in New Zealand, Pacific Films have produced one of their most elegant pieces, an Eastman colour about the part petroleum products have played in the life of New Zealand. In the good tradition of oil company films (for one can never forget that Standard financed Louisiana Story), it doesn’t plug its sponsor’s product but tells crisply a story that was worth telling. My one criticism is that though a tanker’s voyage is a satisfactory framework for the story, the stiff-lipped telephone conversations that are supposed to deal with a supply crisis are quite phony, just as the conferences were in the same unit’s film about Kawerau.
