Friend Flicka" is left to consider
able extent to its equine actors.
1t is handled excellently in the
first instance by black stallion
tFlicka's sire) in turning back a
stampede at the edge of a precipice.
1t is done with equal effect later
by Flicka's mad mamma who COM
mits suicide rather than submit to
the tanning influence of man who
is enormously impressed to discover
that she can run 40 miles an hour by
the speedometer of his station
wagon. Otherwise it is left to Flicka
who relishes the sport OF it to the
point, as we said, of dashing through
that fence
Flicka, as becomes an outstanding
character actor, is recognized by
her human associates as the doml-
nant player in her picture. In their
lesser parts, each does a thoroughly
workmanlike job with properly
deierential attitude toward the star.
The outstanding human role is that
assigned to Roddy Mcdowell, Flicka S
friend who knows that if she ever
is to be cured OF her basic hysteria.
it will be because she learns there
is a deep natural affection between
man and beast. 1t Is a very con-
vincing illustration of the point that
Roddy makes.
The two are supported by such
other established craftsmen as Pres
ton Foster, one of the cinema's most
competent males, as the under
standably impatient father: Rita
johnson as the patient, understand
ing mother; James Bell as the kind
ly hired hand; and petite, TOOTH
less Diana Hale who is very con-
vincingly the nuisance which only
5-year-old sisters can be.

and it seems rather wonderful that
it is able to make you forget there

Friend Flicka," you can see, profits
greatly by reiterating the mild little
truth that man and the animals,
at least, are fast friends. And by
being just a mild little picture in
the course of delivering its mes
sage.
Flicka. who probably is colt
called Molly although she is not
named in the cast sheet, is very
talented actress. 1t is her dramatic
duty to portray kind Of Wuthering
Heights female, an apparently IA

movement is a poem. And with a
camera to encourage her, there is
apparently nothing she will not do
for the sake of her art. Her un-
bridled willingness to take chances
reaches its pinnacle when she dashes
through a barbed wire fence to show
how crazy, and fey and woodsy a
creature she is. Ut is trick and
the scratches are something painted
on by the prop men, but we like to
think of it as part of the dauntless
spirit of the acting profession)

preston for it, and she has it badly,
or at least that is what everyone
thinks except young Ken McLaugh-

to the disgust of his father, who is
highly dubious that his son has
horse sense. The suspense of the
story lies in the question of whether
Ken or his father is right and it
comes off as a rather suspenseful

Jean Renoir and Dudley Nichols,

ton primarily-may be forgiven
that entirely human feeling, for
they have contrived to make the
film as important and refined fn-
ished product as they contemplated
in their plans. With sober re-
straint they have envisioned the

have re-created the confusion and
determination of a suppressed peo-

AS a more or less clinical study of
the militarily weak suddenly thrust
under the yoke of ruthless invader,
the film now showing at Keith s
might easily have lapsed into an
unanimated series OF talks. Because
the messages placed in the charac-
ters' mouths seem to come from
the heart instead
The awful question OF whether to
collaborate and eat or resist and
die faces the townfolk from the
first moment troops rumble past

answer is simple. There is the

school teacher who tries little to
hide her contempt for the book
burners and who continues to
speak republican words to her class;
the professor whose connection with
the underground newspaper is be-
trayed by his own love for freedom
to learn. And. of course. the school
teacher which the eloquent Mr..
Laughton portrays.
A role designed to captivate above
all others, Mr.. Laughton packs it
with Laughtonisms. But he is a
master at the art. so his foolish.
almost eternally bemused school
teacher in the film does nothing to
ruffle the smoothness of the assist
