Adventure f i Ims of today
use more plausable scripts
by Morton Margolin
Yesterday's death of Douglas
Fairbanks brought to many old
timers memories of the days when
the antics of that actor set a new
mode in motion picture entertain
ment. Older students can remem
ber how Fairbanks would bring
the audience to the edge of the
seat in anticipation of his success
ful adventures.
Today the technique has
changed. No longer do the heros
exhibit supernatural strength to
scale walla and mountains; in
stead they use more plausable
methods to overcome the forces
working against them.
"Barricade," now playing at the
Stuart, is an example of the pres
ent day thriller. Starring Alice
Faye and Warner Baxter, the film
tells the story of two Americans
trapped in a remote consulate, be
sieged by fierce Mongolian ban
dits. Another adventure film, "Es
pionage Agent," starring Joel Mc
Crea and Brenda Marshall, opens
,-s(-.
