Agee, James | March 24, 1945 issue

The tremendous material recorded by Navy and Marine Corps and Coast Guard camera men to an unusually intelligent job of editing, writing, and soundtracking. The author noticed with particular respect a couple of good uses of flat silence, the use of a bit of dialogue on "intercoms," recorded on the spot, in a tank; and the use, at the end, of a still photograph down whose wall the camera moved slowly. The still used here was of dead men, for whom time no longer moved. The Fox version of the same battle, the only other version the author could, find, drew on the same stock, and is interesting to compare with the Paramount.
