DM, 1, 1 ne a week in London, starting It is all honest and PrinceM-'Storm Over The and the Brandenburg Rood time LA STRADA AVENUE, SNOWDON It is easy to see why this film won prize all over the place. It has everything the Italian Alms had before they started exploiting the fancier attributes of their feminine stars. It has simplicity of story, theme and production and has a feeling for humanity that at times brings sharp tears to the eyes. The story has been edited down to its bare essentials so the characters have a wonderful opportunity to develop and come to their full flowering. In brief, it tells of a wandering circus performer, a brutish strongman, who buys a half-witted girl from her starving family.

The girl in the course of time, learns to dance a few stops and tootle a little on a battered trumpet. She serves her master well and is rewarded for htr pains by kicks and blows. However, in her dim mind is a capacity for love that could embrace the whole world and she sticks to her brutal man because she feels that, whether he knows it or not, he needs her. Eventually the strongman goes too far and kills a man, and the Uttle half-wit's world collapses around her. The tale is a gentle unfolding a small tragedy against a background of stark reality.

The characters all live in abject poverty. So poor are they that that such things as a little warm soup or a chance to bathe their feet in the ocean surf come as rare and exquisite pleasures. The people the strongman and his servant play to are Just as poor and consequently unsophisticated enough to enjoy the truly miserable act the pair puts on. There are some fine touches to the film. One scene we will remember for a long time nas the wretched girl trying vainly to put down some roots by planting a few tomato seeds while her lord sleeps off a drunk in a field.

Another is the poignant moment when the girl gets a litt'e business to do in an act, and realizes for the'tirst time that she is capable of learning something and of being some use in the world. Two American actors, not hitherto noted for their strong histrionic ability, Anthony Quinn and Richard Sase-hart. do magnificently in the lead male roles. Quinn is te Tough, inarticulate muscleman and Base-hart plays the skipping, sharp-tongued clown who goads Quinn to the point of murder. Giulietta Masina is the girl and her performance is one of the most touching and genuine th.ngs one is likely to come across in films.

THESE WILDER YEARS CAPITOL James Cagney seems to grow in stature with every fi he makes and this one la another feather in his cap. Here he plays a man, grown wealthy who tries to find and make up to a son he deserted in his youth. He uses every means, including, at last, legal trickery, to get his offspring, now a young man, back. He doesn't consider the feelings of the boy's foster parents and, as a matter of fact, he rides roughshod over everyone he meets in his struggle for his son. He is not a bad man, however.

He is kindly-disposed and reasonably sensitive being obsessed with loneliness and bad conscience. Both the writers of the screen-play and Mr. Cagney treat him with extreme sympathy and the result is a rare, fullv-rounded characterization. Playing opposite Mr. Cagney is Barbara Stanwyck, another veteran of the screen who has mellowed with the seasons into a fine actress.

Altogether the picture is a highly enjoyable one from all angles. -w SOMEBODY I THERE LIKES ME PALACE This is quite different from the usual stories of boxers. It doesn't make any great heroes out of the fighters and it doesn't try to glamorize them at all. On the contrary, the film goes out of its way to depict -the sordidness of its hero's beginnings and life before he entered the fight game. The story is, of course, the biography of Rocky Graziano and as far as we know It sticks close to the facts.

The film follows him from his early days in the gutters of New York's lower east side and it takes us step by step along the path he walked to become a champion. It took Graziano a long time to reach the top and it takes this film a long time to unwind, but it never drags and never bores. Much of this is due to three people. They are Paul Newman, as Graziano, Pier Angeli, as Mrs. Graziano and Everett Sloare as Graziano's manager.

All three are a credit to their profession. STORM OVER THE NILE PRINCESS In spite of the story this is not about Nasser and the current hassle in Egypt, but is a romantic stiff upper lip, all nut for the empire yam about Kitcheners campaign in the Sudan. As a matter of fact the film is a remake of an older epic called Four Feathers. Whether or not time has given a rose tint to that first production, we can't say. but it seems to us that it was a much better one than this.

However, even as it stands now the story of how a British officer suspected of cowardice redeems himself, still stands up as a good adventure yarn in a solid old tradition.
