MOVIES AND CRIME
NCE in a while, when a special organisation is at a loss for something to discuss, it brings a big stick down on the films, emphasising the ‘‘unfortunate effect" on the juvenile mind of the movies. Actually, were an investigation carried out among New Zealand's youthful delinquents, it would probably be found that the number which had been led along the path of crime by films would be so small'as to be unworthy of , consideration. There are films that are made for adults and there are films that are definitely suitable for children. The New Zealand censor does his duty in grading them- it is a parent’s duty to see that his children attend only those films which are classed as. suitable for youngsters. In actual fact, mushy "sex, dramas"’ are not particularly sought after by the filmgoing public. The overwhelming success of such films . as ""The House of Rothschild," "‘Cavalcad="’ and "Little: Women" is evidence of this.
