Cinema: CURRENT & CHOICE, Oct. 25, 1954

Ugetsu. A weird and lovely Japanese film; in an Oriental spirit, the camera meditates the eye of a hurricane in a human soul (TIME, Sept. 20).

High and Dry. Some tightfisted Scotsmen (Alex Mackenzie, Tommy Kearins) squeeze the American Dollar (Paul Douglas) until the eagle screams and the audience howls (TIME, Sept. 13).

Sabrina. The boss's sons (Humphrey Bogart, William Holden) and the chauffeur's daughter (Audrey Hepburn) are at it again, but thanks to Director Billy Wilder, not all the bloom is off this faded comic ruse (TIME, Sept. 13).

The Little Kidnappers. Youth and crabbed age try to live together on a Nova Scotia farm; a radiant fable about childhood (TIME, Sept. 6).

The Vanishing Prairie. Walt Disney's cameramen catch some intimate glimpses (including the birth of a baby buffalo) of what animal life was like when the West was really wild (TIME, Aug. 23).

On the Waterfront. Elia Kazan's big-shouldered melodrama of dockside corruption; with Marlon Brando, Eva Marie Saint, Lee J. Cobb (TIME, Aug. 9).

Rear Window. Hot and cold flashes of kissing and killing, as Alfred Hitchcock lets Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly and the customer get the eavesdrop on a murderer (TIME, Aug. 2).
