In his critic days, Mr.. Nugent
was known as tough. He was also
known as wise, knowing, sound and
any number of other adjectives
which make a fellow in his job feel
good. When he laid finger on the
weakness of picture, the assump-
ton sometimes reluctanD was that
he was right.
Canny Mr.. Zanuck has just
thought up a way of checking on
the soundness of that assumption.
The way is simplicity itself. 1t
involves the assignment OF Mr..
Nugent to read screen scripts before
they get to the sound stage, before
the lens of a camera is laid on them.
Nothing like it ever has happened
before Mr.. Nugent is in the spot
usually occupied by producer,
stage or screen, who must decide
from the barren script what kind of
play or movie he would have if he
carried the thing to its logical con-
clusion. The history of producers in
both media is jam-packed with in
stances in which the decision was
foolhardy, stupid, or worse. The
critics have been the first, and
nearly always the last, to say so.
Now, as their representative so to
speak, Mr.. Nugent has led them
into the same predicament.
The profession, craft, trade, or
whatever it is, has experienced no
such trepidation before
And, with other studios reputedly
contemplating the same general
idea. the trepidation is enormously
intensified.
