English North Country accent than some Canadians, I found it difficult to hear all the dialogue, much of which was probably funny. The director obviously hadn‘t asked the Beatles to speak up. Visually, it was an interesting film since they used all sorts of trick camera effects and as long as you didn‘t expect the action to make sense, there was plenty to watch and some lovely locales ranging from the Alps to the West Indies. It even had flashes of satire and wit, which were quickly abandoned in favor of being "clever" and "arty". Apart from the fact that they all mumbled, the Beatles came through splendidly in charâ€" acter; John Lennon was rude, arrogant and sometimes looked bored with what was going on, Paul McCartney was competent and cute (at least, I can see his boyish appeal for the girls), George Harrison was almost overlooked since he had about three lines of dialogue only and wouldn‘t have been missed. Ringo showed a lot of promise and it will be interesting to see how he develops as a wryly humorous actor. Of the two films, I enjoyed "Help" more; at least it didn‘t set out to be cute. Well, I can‘t stop now â€" I can only have offended most Walt Disney fans and Beatlemaniacs, which still leaves motherhood and the flag. As it happens, I like our new flag (it‘s not a work of art but it‘s distinctive and it is the Canadian flag and should be accepted), so let‘s take a whack at parenthood. Elsa Lanchester, the well known actress and widow of Charles Laughton, recently announced that she was glad she was never a mother. She is working on a television series in which she is headmistress of a girls‘ school and she said, "Working with 120 girls on the show makes me thankful that Charles and I never had any youngsters . . . . from the moment a child is born the difficult period begins and endures for 20 years or more." This is not a popular opinion, but she‘s right. Most of us love our children and try honestly to fulfill our responsibilities, but it‘s true that we spend 20â€"30 years out of a lifetime of about 70, in bringing up and working for a family. It doesn‘t make much sense really. By the time we‘ve discharged our duty, our best years are gone. The years we devote to the children are just those productive years when we might have devloped that talent or this interest if we hadn‘t been too busy making money to pay for visits to the dentist or food to shovel into the little gaping maws around the table. Society encourages us to assume that life is not complete without children and secretly most of us pity married couples without children, but I wonder if we‘re right. There are more important things for some people to do than raise a family. If, as a result of all this hard work and heartache, we were developing superior children, perhaps it would justify the dreams we have given up â€" but most of us only produce perfectly ordinary nice decent citizens who start the whole silly business all over again as soon as they can. Parenthood has its rewards, but are they enough in exchange for the best half of our short lives? Probably not for some of us, but we‘re stuck with_ it. It‘ll be a long time before the human race kicks the urge to reproduce As for "Help", the Beatle opus, I found it boring for quite different reasons. First of all, I accept that it‘s just a vehicle for the Beatles and their music, so I didn‘t expect a good storyline. I wasn‘t disappointed, but it needn‘t have been so confusing. Basically, Ringo had a ring which belonged to an oriental sect who wanted it back. If he couldn‘t get it off his finger by a certain time â€" and he couldn‘t â€" he would be killed by this sect. Also involved for obscure reasons were several caricatures, such as the mad inefficient scientist, the mysterious woman from the east who seemed to be on both sides at once, the constantly bamboozled but gentlemdnly detective from Scotland Yard and so on. Apart from the plot, the whole film seems to have been made with some indifference to the audience. Although I‘m more familiar with Hand Crafts _\ Winter Classes For Shoppers At | Offers Variety Kandy Kapers _ Of Activities E t Temmmstihens, 2b wl ce sls d c aca lc hi ons before this, but I‘m he hasn‘t â€" most of us disagree with him at some point, but at he stirs us up sufficiently to start us thinkâ€" ing. Take warning, then, I‘m about to do a Sinclair on you. First of all, I didn‘t like "Mary Poppins". And I must say that all the children I know loved it, including my ow young ones, and so did many adults who saw it. But for me, I was bored; this is not because I only enjoy films like "Marriage Italian Style" or "How to Murder Your Wife" or other sexy sophisticated films, as you think. (My allâ€"time favorite is probably "Lost Horizon" made about 25 years ago with Ronald Colman.) I‘ve enjoyed a lot of Disney films and some of his early classics, like "Snow White", are part of my childhood, but I disliked Mary Poppins. Most of the dance sequences, though spectacular (especially the chimney sweeps on the London rooftops) were far too long; Julie Andrews was nice to look at and her voice a silvery delight, but Mary Poppins herself was not a really lovable character and she seemed to have little sense of humor (of course, she was "practically perfect" which accounts for it); the father and mother of the children were cardboard figures, with no depth â€" just stock types; the mother who is too involved with good causes outside the home to concentrate on her children who need her and the father who is too busy earning a living. And the father‘s restoration to being a real father is effected by the poor, simple, honest chimneyâ€"sweep in another phoney scene, when Daddy suddenly realises that being with his children is more important than making money. And, predictably, Daddy is rewarded for his courage in defying the bank and doing the right thing, by a promotion anyway. Another bit of mush that stuck in my craw was the sequence of the old woman selling food for the birds on the steps of St. Paul‘s, complete with uplifted shining faces and celestial choir, the inference being that the old bat was engaged in holy work, instead of a straightforward commercial transaction. All this is phoney sentimenâ€" tality of a kind that faintly nauseates me, I know you‘re not supposed to level realistic criticism at a fantasy, but "Mary Poppins" wasn‘t made as a complete fantasy â€" it‘s a sticky blend of fantasy and reality, lightly smeared with syrup of goo. No thank you. ‘ I sometimes listen to Gordon Sinclair‘s acid comments on the events of the day with stunned admiration; the old buffalo has the Ability to offend more people, sects and parties in one short newscast than anyone else I know.
