Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Motion Picture and a World-Wide Audience At this fateful hour when Americans, as never before, are conscious of world-wide interests, anxieties and efforts, the motion picture industry offers this account of its activities. The industry draws its materials from the far reaches of the world. Its screen portrays a world-wide scene. It serves a world audience. It weaves a web of interest that reaches beyond all the seas and touches life everywhere. It creates a world community and because its basic themes are rooted in the common concerns of all people, it is a cohesive force in a world torn by conflict and discord. Nothing that is human is foreign to its art. First Things First A report of the ideals and achievements of the motion picture industry in 1942 properly begins with war and victory. What has it done to wage war and win victory? We offer as an answer to that question the account of a year of ever-intensifying effort. We do not need to be reminded that the motion picture is in the fight. But we may find the keenest interest in how it has gone to war. Unlike most industries, the motion picture needed no retooling and conversion. Like the farms of the nation, its product is a daily necessity. To meet war needs its chief duty was to intensify its product, to conserve and, by making more efficient its expenditure of energy, to offer those services that were its special war time contribution. The vitality of its entertainment, with its concomitant services of information, education and inspiration was essential to the demands of a population deep in the toil and worry of war.
