Swiss Movie,
'Eternal Mash'
brilliantly acted."
'. . . engrossing and dramatic
excellently produced."
TIip adicctives roll off the crit
ics' tongues in praise of the Swiss
movie, "The Eternal aiasK, to
ii shown at Love Library audi
torium at 8 p. m. Friday and Sat
urdays evenings.
Sponsored by the 1MCA, tne
film delves into the psychological
by plunging into the subconscious
of a young doctor's mind.
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. It is a mature and intensely
interesting drama."
