Movie beot:
Brute Force is
q feeble film
By BOB BENNETT


Right now one of the big men
of the hour is Mark .Hellinger,
who graduated from writing
corny tear-jerkers for Hearst to
become a producer.
The hounds took to baying at
Marks heels after he came up
with a respectable screen version
of Hemingway's ''The Killers"
Here was realism welded to an
absorbing drama. Hosannas. And
nosegays.
In the "Killers," Mark got a
big assist from Hemingway's
lines, which he VS. smart enough
to plant in the film bodily
Not so with sBrute Force"
Here Hellinger and his screen
writer were all on their own and
the result is-shall we say, bru-
tai?
Realism is tough stuff; it seems
as if it ought to be so easy to do;
and it's so hard. All guy has
to do is open his eyes and he has
reality. So far SO good. Easy, too.
But you don't have realism UNI
til reality is filtered through the
mind and heart of an artist with
integrity; until his imagination
and experience and philosophy of
life filter and arrange it into a
meaningful pattern.
Hemingway, Of course, had al
ready done that for 'sThe Killers"
Unfortunately, Hellinger didn't
have Hemingway short story to
work from in "Brute Force"
It's the story of how a group
of convicts, goaded by a sadistic,
vicious captain of the prison
guard, attempt to break out and
fail. 1t could be damned good
drama-but it isn't.
The primary fault. think, is
that the prisoners just aren't real
people. One doesn't care very
much what happens to them be-
cause one realizes that they are
only fictional characters on a
screen. All the blood and thunder
and fireworks only keep the pa
irons from going to sleep; they
don't conceal the fact that "Brute
Force" has nothing to say.
wish there were as many belly
laughs in some of Louis B. May
