men and mounted knights. Holly
wood has done some majestic
things with these mass conflicts,
yet none to equal the clashes
between the forces of Arthur
and the villainous Modred.
Down on the personal level,
when Lancelot is taking on a
mere four or five rivals, the
conflict in the film Is little less
dramatic than when whole
armies are involved. Such indeed
is Thorpe's directoral wizardry
that a great pillow fight between
Arthur's frolicsome knights is
one of the highpoints of the pic
ture.
Romance in knights of the
Round Table" is treated with
the spectacularity it deserves in
a period when it was as great
an honor to die for love as well
as for ones fatherland. Busy
as he is otherwise. Lancelot is
permitted ample time to suffer

illicit one with Guinevere. the
licit with the cool and lovely

fragile queen but she is none

have given Lancelot something

ton in the film at the Capitol,
and a smart piece of casting it
is.

Even a thread of the Holy
Grail story is woven into the
huge canvas o. the Capitol's
celluloid legend. 1t is handled
with a reverent quietness that
provides a pleasant contrast to
the turbulence of Lancelot's win
ming battles and his losing loves.

not so much as the Titf1eldians.
The reason for this is that the
script by T. E. B. Clarke, who
also wrote 1.-THE Man in the
White Suit" is built around an
idea that grows thin before the
farce is concluded.
Along its merry course. how
ever, THE Titled Thunderbolt"
comes up with some gems of
situation, character and dia-
1ogue. Also to its blithesome
credit is the fact that it is acted
by one of those English casts
with a bullt-ln relish Tor nom
sense.
Titfield's railroad, in trackage
and rolling stock, is long past
due in some museum. Still down
through the generations. the
townspeople have learned to
love it. They can see no reason
why it should be replaced by a
modern busline and when the
ministry of transport charges
the road with bankruptcy, the
town takes it over.
Given a limited time to redeem
the line from poverty, they find
there are more ways than the
classic joke says to run a rail-
way. The vicar becomes engineer,
the town bum fireman, and the
towns rich drunk agrees to
finance the line when it prom

One featured number is titled
"Grooved." It delineates the
story of mothers vain efforts

has supplemented them with
many another laughable inven-
ton, including a duel between
the Titfield locomotive and a
steamroller.
This is one of the funniest
jousts since knighthood was in

The cast which puts such en-
