I learned that when I wrote

Here are two sample reactions:
“There are many people who
_ @on’t like James Dean and may-
.be they have good reasons. Bit
‘to me he had a certain greatness
about him--as a person as well
as an actor...
““T-agree with you that he was
a ‘mixed-up kid’ with rather
poor manners, but I know that.
he must have had a reason for
those ‘bad’ manners. I’m not
excusing him for them or other
things he did. He wasn’t. per-

us see apart of ourselves. He

able to put into words. He helped
us to see the really important
things in life.’—Portland, Ore.

HOLLYWOOD (f — The James Dean craze may be dying,

 

tertainment, and who asks for
what kind of pictures, etc.? They
moviegoers. They love the man
and kept pestering the industry
for the life story. Now they got
it...”

It’s possible that Dean will
occupy a niche in film history
only: because of the post-mor-
tem fanaticism of his fans. If
so, it’s ashame. He was too good
‘an actor to be known only as the
unconscious creator of a fad.

SAME ‘FATE

The same fate befell Rudolph
Valentino. If: you see his movies
today, the acting style may seem
laughable. But putting that aside,
you can also see what an attrae-
tive figure he was and what. ro-
mantic appeal he must-have had
for a previous generation.

But his skill as a performer is}

virtually forgotten amid the lore
that followed his death.
THE REVIEWING STAND:

“Jet Pilot” has finally been
previewed to Hollywood audienc-
es, only five or six years late. As
long as the film remains in the
air, it is effective. The shots
of jets in flight are among the
best that have been seen on the
screen. ‘But the plot — oh,
brother! We are asked to be-

lieve that Janet Leigh is a Rus- |

sian spy who flies a jet to the
U.S. John. Wayne, an air force
officer, marries her, flies her
back to Russia, collects jet sec-
rets and both escape. You've got
to-see it to believe it.
