THE PASSING SHOW
Block Buster Film Pair Arrives
THE PASSING SHOW
BY JAY CARMODY
Star Drama Editor

star Drama Eultot
With two big months be-
hind them in 1858, Holly
woods film makers went for
three during the past week
by dropping a pair Of block
busters into the MArch movie
schedule for Washington.
These were Bridge on the
River Kwai" and THE
Brothers Karamazov."
Each Aim represents the
gesture known as shooting
the works. They were made
big in q spirit Of hang the
expense. and with a convic-
ton that the firepower rep
resented by each production
could not fail to blast the
public out of any apathy
toward moviegoing.
It would be difficult to
name two pictures more
typical Of the epic project
through which the film in
dustry hopes to recover its
old irresistibility. Or. If not
precisely that. a variation
that will give it a feeling OF
being wanted.
Both EngrOssing
Certainly Bridge on the
River Kwai" and the film
version of Feodor Dostoyev-
sIzy's classic novel are en-
crossing pieces of entertain
ment, uniquely within the
scope of only the movie
screen. They not only can
survive the magnifying power
of. the CinemaScope camera.
they demand it. They invite
multimillion-d budgets,
whole galaxies of stars the
most extravagant of produc-
ton.
Still it is not their mere
size and their cost, which no
one else can afford or would
risk, that gives their makers
confidence in the two pic
lures. These aspects, SO
stability and tastelessly ex-
plotted in the past. have not
been mentioned in connection
with Bridge on the River
Kwai'' and 1.-THE Brothers
Karamazov."
Their intrinsic values are
the simple, dramatic ones
that they have something to
say about human experience
that is worth hearing and
seeing.
Quality Varies
The productions are not Of
equal merit. This reviewer
is not sure that in the case
of Bridge" an average sort
of novel is not turned into a
screen classic, while the other
represents a classic novel
converted into something
slightly better than an aver
age sort of movie.
Perspective, which Is sup.
posed to come with time, is
almost sure to establish
Bridge on the River Kwais
as one of the alI-time notable
achievements In film max
ing. Convinced Of this for
one is Tyrone Power, q

who told this correspondent
in so many words. II think
it is the greatest picture since
Gone With the Wind.

and considerable experience
