got clogged in a stream Of French
evacuees, are witty lot. Even
when they are being dive bombed, as
they are on two spectacular occa-
sions, they can think Of some very
funny things to say to each other.
Moreover. their conversation indi-
cates-rather subtly-that class lines
are collapsing in England in that the
two Tommies, one English, the other
Scotsman, are given lines just as
witty as those who once would have
been their superiors.
The Franco-British relations of
the picture are handled with an i'm
pressive f1nesse. At the beginning,
there are intimations that the Allies
are about to become nettled under
the strain OF Nazi conquest, but it
works out quite the other way at the
end. The English are quite aware
OF their remissness and the French
are endlessly gallant about every
thing. 1t is a purposeful politeness,
one suspects, at its very best in the
final line when a French channel
boat captain observes: "At the end
Of the war, Monsieur, We shall owe
you everything"
Miss Cummings who lives In Eng
land as the wife of Playwright Benn
Levy has lost none of her quiet act
ing skill during what seems like
long absence from pictures. She is
always perfectly in the spirit of
Somewhere in France" whether the
spirit happens to be one of tense
drama or the more general one of
cute drollery. Hero to her heroine
is quare-jawed young Clifford
Evans who does an effective Job as
the daring, unhurried, unrunied
young factory manager. Comedian
Tommy Trinder, an angular fellow
with a puckish face, is another who
adds to the surprising excellence of
the picture. Morley cuts his usual
fancy figure as the suave villain,
French mayor who has made high
art of collaboration.
1t Is much more worthy piece of
entertainment than a limping little
play which you may remember as
opening and closing in one week
here a couple of Springs ago. That
also was called Somewhere in
France" There is happily no re-
semblance between it and the pic
ture.

make all the English sound like
members of the Miniver family, peo-
pie to whom the slightest happening
becomes something of quite dramatic
proportions, yet utterly simple at the
same time.
Mr.. Priestley's little story has been
put into the movies now. Under the
title, Somewhere in France" it
opened today at the Little Theater
and if you are looking for war
picture that seems agreeably unlike
a war picture, this one distinctly Is
your cup of tea. It is melodrama
that is not too melodramatic, COM
edy that is little and light hearted,
and a romance that is never unduly
romantic In short, it is an entirely
ingratiating little thing in which
Constance Cummings and some of
those extraordinary English actors
provide another perfect illustration
of what competent acting can mean
to a movie. Everybody in the pic
ture is charming, including the vii
lains, the most villainous of them
played by corpulent Robert Morley
who is one of the brightest assets
an English film can have. Its ex-
cellence, as a matter of fact, came
as surprise to even those who
made it. They had ne idea, the
story goes, that they had anything
SO agreeable-as did Jan Struther
when she wrote her Mrs. Miniver
stories.
One Of the most impressive quail
ties of Somewhere in France" is it's
utterly effortless suspense It's little
group of central figures, the factory
manager, an American girl, and two
British Tommies are always just a
jump ahead of the German army. or
sometimes not even that far ahead.
They are utterly unconcerned, how
ever, leaving it to you to worry your
pretty head about what happens to
them. Their indifference, an easy
going English kind which Alfred
Hitchcock has exploited so brightly
in his pictures, is most perfectly ex-
pressed in the fact that they seem
much more concerned with the well
fare of group of French orphans
they pick up en- route to the chan
mel coast. The orphans become in
stantly a much greater considera-
tion than the machines. They have
to be watered, and fed, and kept
clean and entertained by the Eng
lish standards of such things. More
over. they must be protected during
dive bomber raids and finally they
must be placed in some asylum of
safety. 1t is one of the neatest sus-
pense devices of the season, a good
joke Director Michael Balloon and
his cast are playing on you, but al

and charm that you don't mind in
