Still, for the subject matter and the names attached to it, I agree that it's worth including in a Lewton collection. Jacqueline T.

MLLE. FIFI I've recorded recently off TCM, after having owned, eventually, the Lewton box. (Why they didn't simply add those two, inasmuch as they are crime dramas after a fashion, at least, and so is THE SEVENTH VICTIM and a couple of the others, is a good question.)Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-26862794114735667282017-06-01T15:09:00.953-04:002017-06-01T15:09:00.953-04:00The teen characters in the movie are a little bit ...The teen characters in the movie are a little bit exasperating with dumb choices they make, but the teens seen in the March of Time doco are really kind of haunting.

It's a tough time and war makes it even tougher. It seems from these films that those with the ability to do something were at least aware and spreading the message. The teen of the day is the adult of tomorrow. That thought shouldn't make us shudder. Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
