Jeanette

Date produced: 1968

Filmmaker(s):

Rex Palmer

Description:

"Jeanette from Scotland won the Scenario Award for a story with a very touching twist at the end. Not much can be written as to its content without giving away the story and thus spoiling it for you when you see it. Rex Palmer did this one in black-and-white (only two other films in the Ten Best were not in color), with a deft handling of the story that tends to mislead you right up to the very end. It easily won as Best Foreign Film in this year's competition" PSA Journal, Oct. 1968, 48.

Sitters

Description:

"The film opens with pictures of Belgrade, the capital city of the country, and shows many aspects of the city. From Belgrade we are shown the passage of the mighty Danube eastward to the sea, and pause for a time at Nish, the birthplace of the Emperor Constantine. We see the happy home life of Her Majesty Queen Marie, and the independent existence of the sturdy peasantry, benevolently watched over by the Government, which preserves their interests. From the happy hours of country life we turn once more to a city, the cathedral city of Zagreb, the Rokavitza Monastery, the aerodrome at Zemun, and then again to midsummer days by the sea in the mountain lakes of Plitvitxa. [p.35] The motive around which the whole is composed is the Y.M.C.A, a strong and important organization in Jugo-Slavia, enriching the lives of its countryfolk and serving those homes are in the town" (IAC Bulletin, Apr. 1934, 34-35).
