vard," Hollywood Roundup"
Hollywood Revue of 1929" and even
Hollywood Speak" failed
to live up to the expectations of
their sponsors?
The most noted failure in the en-
tire Hollywood scene category, how
ever, was "Once in a Lifetime" +"
which Universal made at great ex-
pense in 1882. The film rights cost
large sum, for it was a tremendous
hit on Broadway. An all-star cast
was rounded up. Five months and
something more than a million dol
lars were spent in its making. But
everyday movie audiences missed its
sharp satire. That picture, more
than any other, wrote doom for
movie-town satires.
Zanuck follows the theory that a
good picture will score regardless
of its locale. He SCOTS at the idea
of jinx following any particular
cycle. However, he does believe
the movie trade has grown up a lot
and that patrons see things today
in a much broader light.

both in what it reveals and what 1t

At the start, the various units Of
Hitler's highly mechanical force
look like so many elements OF a mill
tary machine bent upon war game.
Grim and appalling reality takes
over, however, when bombing
squadron is shown in its horrible
mission of destroying Krakow and
Warsaw and reaches a terrifying
crescendo OF violence in the closeup
of the razing of Westerplatte by the
guns of a warship. In their most
magifcent accomplishments in what
are called special effects" the
make believe movies never have ap-
preached anything resembling the
awful actuality of this area of the
Paramount reel. (Which, inciden-
tally, was the origin of numerous war
pictures in The Star, Saturday and
Sunday)
The once humble documentary
film-this one perhaps just sam
pie of what is to come-obviously
now has completely captured the
ultimate drama of the screen from
