ROBERT LITTELL, noted critic of the cinema, revealed his im pression of "The Eternal Mask." Stated Littell, "A prolonged diet of Hollywood films produces in me symptoms of something rather like scurvy. My eyes water, my hair falls out, I lie prostrate in my bunk and in my weakened condition I see films twice over which is often not very much worse than seeing them only once. But relief from domestic film scurvy is not the only rea son why you should see "The Eternal Mask" which is the first Swiss film I remember having seen, and I hope not the last." Critic Littell is but one of doz ens of lilm reviewers who have lauded the imported picture. The New York Times commented that ordinary superlatives would be ridiculous, comparisons impos sible.
