personifcation, studied under
George and others who knew
Ernie well and acquired his little

But, though he is star and
playing a greater one, CT Joe Is
the hero-collectively-of this
brave film. l call it brave be-
cause Lester Cowan put two
and-a-half million dollars into it,
though he had pledged Ernie not
to glorify him, gave his principal
character no suggestion OF any

10 let Ernie throw out any
scenes he didn't like.
He did discard several, which
were quite costly because they
made too much of him and too
little of the men he loved and
who loved him.
DERHAPS il was this spirit
Il and faculty that lifted Ernie
Pyle above any other reporter
of his generation. He was a
self-effacing little FELLOW, not
physically brave, who sweated
and shuddered during action, but
who not only never ducked il,
but went, wear and woebegone,
10 seek IT.
He had a lot of resistance, as
many wiry little men have.
