Then in 1967, MGM released "Gone with the Wind" once more, this time in wide screen. bringing back "Lawrence of Arabia." Warner Bros, is now presenting "My Fair Lady" with considerable success.

ST Hope did some very funny pictures, and so has Jerry Lewis. But lately comedies have tapered off until they have come almost to a standstill. Oh, there are still comedies 'M-A-S-H' for example. But they are mostly situation comedies, not ones with great comics." Woody Allen is doing what he can to help the situation. A season ago, he wrote, directed and starred in "Take the Money and Run," which was well received by critics and audiences.

Now he has done the same triple duties with "Bananas," a wild farce about a Latin republic. It may put a final end to the Good Neighbor Policy, but it is also likely to convulse millions. The trouble with screen comedy, he said was the dearth of comedians. "Comedy is hard to do," said Allen, "but I think there are performers who could become great comics if they set their minds to it. Petere Sellers, for example, was on the border line between being an actor and a comic, but he went in the actor direction, probably because that interested him more.

"Likewise Alan A i Dustin Hoffman, Jack Lem-mon and Walter Matthau can play comedy scenes very convincingly. But theirs is not a clown-like comedy, as in the silent era."
