idea Of combining the two Is
sheer inspiration. a quality that
has not been VIGOROUSLY COM
monplace in human affairs Of
late.
This Is due, Of course, not
merely to the dramatic contrast
offered by such q bill but more
90 to the excellence Of each pfo-
duction. For this excellence,
both films have been gathering
festival laurels and the cheers Of
both moviegoers and critics. This
Is no more than their deserving.
THE Lost Continent" the
longer Of the two films, was pro-
duced and directed by Italy's
Count Leonardo Bonzi. He is a
man with an eye. and a Cinema
Scope camera, for ways Of life
that are at once harsher and
hlander than our own. Harsher
because they are more primi-
tive. more bland because they
keep human nature less conscious
Of itself.
Count Bonzi and his crew,
travelling by sail boat. are excited
by what they have found in the
little known areas of the Asian
Pacific. They convey their ex-
element in q series Of fascinat-
ing fragments to which their
film gives both unity and mean
ing.

This, incidentally. is at once
more elaborate. far less private,
