ABSTRACT
Why do the cinemagoers of this country have to tolerate such trashy ‘second-feature’ films? One is attracted to a cinema by quite a good film about which we have read critics’ views, and having seen it one has either to walk out or sit through the most amazing rubbish, which, I am sure, no newspaper critic is ever allowed to see. The point is that most of these silly second features are American-made. Does the British film industry really mean to tell us that it cannot replace this muck with good ‘shorts’?
