Bower, Anthony | January 29, 1949 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the film "The Quiet One," (to be released in the near future). The film is one of those phenomena of film-making that suddenly emphasize the absurdity of the average Hollywood film budget, the astronomical figures of stars' salaries, and the appalling lack of inventiveness, in the usual picture. It is a documentary made by and with amateurs which was photographed originally on 16-mm. film and produced on a shoestring, but with such tact and simplicity and feeling that it emerges as a far more moving and even "entertaining" product than any three-million-dollar sob story.
