And that's taking from the pleture itself, for part ts power is derived from over- nothing. \ film is “In Which We Serve.” from England. iNeel Coward produced, directed it, wrote music for it, and starred in it— oy wartime conditions. It's tale of the life and death of a British destroyer and the men who ail her and fight with her. It's a magnificent job. Here isn't the Coward of the cynical, easy, flip years of peace. There’s noneyof the glib drawing- room, cocktail hour, sprightly naughtiness of “Private Lives,” “De- sign for Loving,” “Blithe Spirit” |and other of his stage hits. Closest to it in the previous Coward out- |put is “cCavalcade,” which Holly- wood made into a memorable film in its day. “In Which We Serve” encompasses the whole drama of England at war—on the seas, on the home front. It's hard to be- lieve that a crashing action, hero- |ism without heroics, homely com- edy and pathos, could do that. If |this one doesn't, it comes close. | The story opens with the “death” |of H.

There are people who think they discern public ' trends in that direction now. This may also be true of the church.
