A feud between q herd Of ele-
plants and residents Of q tea
plantation in Ceylon has a prom
Using sound as screen material.
AS conflicts go, this one is rather
of the, beaten track. but as it
turns out, too far off, to Judge
by Elephant Walk" new film
attraction at the Columbia the
alter.
The background, Ceylon itself,
turns out to be considerably more
dramatic than the plot which
engages the acting skills of Eliz-
abeth Taylor, Dana Andrews.
Peter Finch and many others.
The reason for this, which
eluded him at the time, must be
clear by now to Director VIII
liam Dieterle. He was relating a
tale of the effects of boredom on
white planters in Ceylon and
simply allowed too much of it
to seep into the moviegoer's
vision. Boredom as a drama tic
theme is perilous stuff.
Robert Standish's novel Of the
same title relates the experience
Of a pretty English girl who
marries a handsome tea family
heir and goes with him to live
in Ceylon. She's enchanted to
find the family seat that big
and beautiful. as quickly disap-
pointed to find an apparent
curse hanging over the house,
Elephant Walk"
This latter, 1t develops, is the
result Of old Tom Wiley-the
founder of the tea empire
having built his bungalow di-
rectly in the path to the ele-
plant herds water hole.
For 40 years thereafter, the
elephants keep threatening to
knock the house down. This
sounds exciting, actually is not.
Until the elephant herd finally
does wreck the place. it's oc-
cupants are pictured chiefly
getting roaring drunk and play
ing bicycle polo in the recreation
room. Whatever witless fun these
get out of it is not at all COM
municated to the audience.
Much more dramatic, unfor-
tunately, are the sequences
showing how tea grows, is har-
vested and processed. This
can only mean that the ele-
plants curse extended conSid-
erably farther than Paramount
intended, or anticipated.

An absorbing look into the
emotional tangle that lies be-
hind the icy facade of a great
corporation is offered movie
goerS in MGM's extravagant
Executive Suite" which opens
today at the Palace Theater.
A sure 10-best bet, at the
minimum, is this whopping ex-
hibit, one in which the produc-
ing studio has such confidence
that it bet a truly amazing gall
axy Of stars on the films popu-
larity. The corporation which
provides the very human plot
material could not itself have
shown more confidence than
MGM in investing such players
as William Holden, June Ally
son, Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric
March. Walter Pidgeon, Shelley
Winters and twice as many more
IN this huge enterprise.
By the time these have fin
ished with Cameron Hawley's
backstage revelation Of big busi-
ness, moviegoers are blessed
with a superficial even more ex-
citing than the original.
Probably never has SO much
evidence been assembled in a
movie to show that corporation
executives, their wives and
Sweethearts are as vulnerable as
anyone else to the whole cata-
logue Of human appetites.
Author Hawley. adapted by
Ernest Lehman and revoked by
Director Robert Wise, lays down
an exciting and labyrinthine
plot in Executive Suite" Basic
ally what he has to relate is what
happens when an industrial
genius suddenly dies and his
corporate handiwork falls into
the hands of lesser men.
These latter are a diverse and
dramatic lot, a couple of them
cravenly ambitious, another pair
impelled by decency, still an
other so immersed in lechery
that his job is secondary, and
one merely anxious to retire.
There are also major feminine
stockholder (Miss Stanwyck)
and a very private secretary of
the dead man nina Foch) who
make their contributions to the
brilliant chaos.
MGM never made a more ar
tistic judgment than the one
which puts Executive Suites"
fascinating characters into the
hands Of the most competent
players available.
In working out the explosive
complex of relations in Hawley's
potent tale. these turn "Execu-
tive Suite" into one of the most
VI AAA4ckA1CAy eNOCA R4COu4 Go Ill
years. Moreover. the balance of
the playing is such that no sin
gle performance is outstanding.
Holden. with the most favorably
weighted character as the young
man with the most decent in
stincts on the premises, is no
more commanding than March
as the most guileful of the
others.
Every bit as good as the more
somber heirs to the tycoon's raj
fish mantle is Louis Calhern'S
portrait of an elderly New York
playboy who tries to flnagle con-
troll of the company, and Paul
Douglas representation of the
director who lays himself open
to blackmail by consorting too
carelessly with Shelley Winters.
Big business never looked more
dramatically human than in this
account of what can happen to
1t when q genius dies suddenly.
