Films

The article presents information about a group of films dealing with that most popular of all subjects, "love." As a general rule, of course, nearly every film has some sort of love story, but three of them during the past fortnight, "Transgression", "Men Call It Love" and "Chances" had very little else. It is hardly necessary to add that they contributed little that was new to the lore on this subject. To discuss these films individually as embodiments of definite creative ideas would be futile, for the only idea they try to embody is that of box-office appeal, and their success or failure in embodying it is accordingly the only important thing that distinguishes one from another.
