He rst becomes worried at a cocktail party given by his parents. A guest turns to him and tipsily exclaims: Isn't that quaint? Uncle Gus! l always think of uncles as funny old gentlemen.“
Then when a large local house becomes vacant. Gus. Tom and a gang of children divide the debris left behind. Gus quarrels with an older. bullying boy over a broken umbrella. Led by the bully. the other children turn on him. teasing him because he is an uncle. And Tom. his 7 year-old nephew joins in.
Curiosity and bewilderment bring him to question his mother. the family maid Emma. and his father about the mysteries of his unusual status. His puzzlement remains. Meanwhile there are gunghts and chases. But the playing always ends in quarrels. And there is always the teasing. oft-repeated chant : "Gus is an uncle. Gus is an uncle."
Shying awav from the others. Gus packs up his toys
and spends more and more time by himself in ihe_empty

Each Spring promises abundant yields. but we can harvest only what the pests leave untouched. Their reproductive capacity is enormous and terrifying. and their life-cycle has a simple. inexorable rhythm: feedingmultiplying feeding.
Every second two people die four are born. There are thus 200.000 more people daily_or. to put it another way. the population of one new city appears on earth every day. In I960 there were 3.500 mi lion people in the world .; in the year 2.000 there should be about ' 6.000 million. If they are all to be fed three times the present amount of food must be produced. I-lowever. even to-day. a quarter of world crop production is ravaged by pests and only one person in three has enough to eat.
Theoretically the world has no food problems. With the aid of mineral fertilizers. of new land for farming. even 6.000 million could he fed. But the battle against the legions of pests must be won rst. Control must be gained over fungi and parasites by continuous experimental work in laboratories and in the elds. Indeed chemists. biologists. and doctors are continually working on this problem. experimenting. rejecting. always seeking to improve.
We have a gigantic task before us: 3.500 million people. soon to be 6.000 million. want to live. not just exist. They want to be properly fed. For this we need chemicals.

While it is true that science and technical skill make it possible for explorers to probe cosmic space. the main problem - whether human beings are capable of withstanding indenitely the immense physical burdens of ight in space has not yet been quite solved.
This colour lm surveys the preparations of astronauts for the manifold tasks involved in their advance into the unknown. (Time : Z4 mins.)

In our day there is no more trying time than “the space of life between.“ when the young have yet to learn that small troubles. griefs. and disappointments even the greater losses of friends and early loves are part and parcel of life. This lm's theme shows how bitter and painful it is to grow out of this age of daydreaming and face life in its full reality.
The first scene reveals thc_monito_r-screens of a TV-car which ll the screen. On six monitors we see simulta- ' neous shots of a young girl law graduate being interviewed by reporters. She te ls them that _she is dissatised with people. with the standards of our time. and that she believes she could transform the world by the fullest use and application of modern ideals of human relations and social laws. Four young men working in the TV-car watch the girl and share in her dream. for they too know that they want to ght what they consider the same feeling of apathy. of oppression. of not being free_ to show what they are worth. These young men are engineers. but not the actual crew of the TV-car. Them look on the elder engineers in charge as old fogies w o use skilftglly. but without inspiration. the knowledge they have cull from technical books. Thus _they ogpress the young_ engineers. smothering their initiative. Su used by the genial glow of a shared vision the young men agree to work iointly to further_their ambition.
But life quickly frustrates their great plan. for they are soon put t_o work in different depar_tments._ Thus their opportunities become dilferent and t_his expenence embarrasses them. ln vain they_ take a holiday tofether. striving to keep the bond rm. FaiIu_re follows. and d_nos Oliih. the hero of the film. makes his friends responsible for their lack of success.
During all this time Janos himself has not _been able to forget the girl seen on the TV-screen. Her picture haunts him and his comparison of her with a young pretty iceskater. with whom he_ is friendly. brings iea ousy and a speedy end to their flirtation.
Then. at a dance on New Year's Eve. he meets the girl lawyer. They escape from the crowd and stroll. in a world :.;':':. :'":;'*'.‘t'.*~..?°**‘='".'.': s:.°'"‘ ":2 .1." *::.':.?'::P"i e ea l gay a nn a e in that they have found a love that will last for life. The rest of the lm studies this relationship until Janos and Eva are brought to theend of their age of daydreaming. and cross the threshold into the sterner road of reality.

Near the end of a war a young man comes out of prison after having been interned because of his doing some minor work for the underground. At home he nds that only his sister awaits him. for his father, brother and close friends have all died in the meantime. Suffering from a disease caused by a blow on his head during interrogation. and even more. perhaps. from mental stress and loneliness. he realises that he and his sister will in future depend utterly on each other.
The story of this lm is set in a period during “a war": which war the lm-maker does not want to indicate. (Time: 38 mins.)

Script: By Janusz Nasfeter and based on Adolf Rudnicki‘s story. “Nobody‘s Darling"
Photo: Antoni Nurzynslti
Music: Krzysztof Komeda—Trzcinski
Cast : Elzbieta Czyzewska. Janusz Guttner
After directing many short lms. mostly meant for child audiences. Janusz Nasfeter made his rst feature lm. "Small Tragedies" in I958. His latest feature is “Not Loved“ (also called "Nobody's Sweetheart"), in which Elzbieta Czyzewska. already seen in Cork in "Halloween." plays the main part opposite the young actor lanusz Guttner. for whom this is his rst lm.
The time is the end of August I939. Noemi arrives from
Cracow at a small boarding house in a provincial town
where she hopes to meet the man she loves. He is not there. but Noemi is persuaded by the owner of the boarding house to keep waiting. Night comes and as there are now no more trains for Cracow she decides to catch the rst train in the morning at 5 a.m. She is alone in her room. and yet. with so many weary hours to go till dawn. she nds it impossible to lie down or sleep. She will keep waiting. Who knows. Kamil may turn up at any moment!
She is quite used by now to his sudden departures. his silences and secretiveness. and even to his constant disposition to quarrel. Still. this latest disatppearance of his makes Noemi exceptionally anxious. so ull of apprehension that her state borders on madness. All his earlier escapades were different. She used to manage to stay calm. humble. patient. but this time she is unable even to name her fear. to dene it. for a premonition that something truly menacing is approaching grips her. lts vague features are quite independent of her and of Kamil. and hold a terrifying threat of universal destruction.
She whirls away from the dark vision to pin her thoughts on Kamil. Nothing matters but him. He must be coming he will come perhaps he has arrived already. Perhaps he has just entered the courtyard. The dogs are yapptng Noemi stops by the window. but she can see nobody. She does not. she cannot know that at that very moment something is happening that will determine Kamil's fate. her own fate. indeed the fate of millions unknown to them

"Sam. but Sam \\'h:it'." he wonders. He sees .1 heet
truck. On its side is bannered the slogan. “Where there's life there's Bud." A plane overhead slams down toward La Guardia Field. 'Bud' and 'wing.' He has a name. Sam Buddwing.
Buddwing enters a shabby. unappetizing apartment. Gloria opens the door. He has never seen her before. Then he is not Sam. Touched by Buddwing's obvious disappointment. Gloria gives him coffee. and sympathetic understanding when he breaks down. realizing that he has no clue to his lost identity.
As he leaves. Gloria forces Buddwing reluctantly to accept five dollars. Now in desperate search of his past. he is torn between two conicting emotions. Regardless of personal cost. he is driven to discover who he is. and what he was. At the same time. he is haunted and tormented by the fear of what recapturing his past will reveal.
Aimlessly walking the streets of New York. Buddwing sees a young girl coming down the steps of an apartment house. He is shaken with recognition. "Grace!" he calls out. When she takes a cab. he hails another cab and follows. but loses her. Later. he nds her again. The girl‘s name is Janet. "I am not Grace." she insists. Buddwing learns she is a college student. Past and present merge in the whirlpool of his mind.
A younger Buddwing relives his student day romance with Grace. and the idealism of their young love. He has found one key to his past. Then Grace is gone.
On 44th Street. he sees another girl who startles him. She is Fiddle. He follows her. When she smiles at him he says. “Hello. Grace." Fiddle is intrigued by Buddwing. and tries to help. ln Fiddle's apartment. the music from a record player touches a chord of memory. Buddwing sits down to a piano. It is his own composition he is playing.
Once more Buddwing lives in the past. He is no“ married to Grace. As the years turn back. doors in his memory open. But like a complicated puzzle. pieces are still missing. only adding to his confusion.
In fear. uddwing calls Gloria. who hangs upon him. Exhausted and in despair. he continues to walk the streets. The Blonde (Jean Simmons) leans out of a cab window. “Do you want to be a trophy?" she asks. The blonde is on a scavenger hunt. Buddwing is the tall man with the grev suit she has been looking for.
They continue the hunt together. To win the scavenger hunt. the blonde needs Sl00.000 in cash. With Buddwtng
this leads them to an unlimited crap game in Harlem. where Buddwing has fabulous fortune. Gradually. Budd-
wing's encounters with Janet. Fiddle. and The Blonde are

It is a triple pleasure to return to the miraculous

ine ('im'reca ltaliana. The activities of Lattuada and his collaborators in this eld bore fruit in the organization of a Retrospective Exhibition at the .\lilan Triennale of I940.
Besides collating and collecting lms, Lattuada continued work as a lm critic and took his rst steps onthe demanding path to real lm-making as script-writer and assistant director. He had already scripted a lo mm. lm ('uort- Rivelarore. in I933. and acted as colour consultant for M. Baico's I1 Mu.st'u D¢'ll' A/mire. in I935: but it was in I940 that his continuous activity in the cinema world really started. when he acted as script-writer and assistant-director in the making of Mario Soldati’s little classic Piccolo Mondo Anrico.
Lattuada directed his rst independent lm. Giacomo l'Idt'aIi'.v!a in I942. This was well received by the critics. even though one small group connected with the journal. ('i'neniu. had certain reservariations about the style which they considered rather sterile and frigid. indierent and insensitive to that call of reality which seemed to have decisively appealed to Lattuada in his composition of a volume of photographs. Occliio Quadraro.
During the anxious and troubled years from I943 to I945 he directed La Freccia nvl Fianeo and. after making Lu Nosira Guerra (I944). a documentary onthe national liberation revolt of September I943. he made two lms which revealed the nascent poetic character of Nt-o-Reulixni in a literary and Alberto Lattuada was born in Milan. in I914, to moralistic kev : ll Bamlitu (I946) and the Prizea typical Lombard family. The home atmosphere and environment in which he grew up were such that they encouraged his every artistic urge. and from his earliest sehooldays he showed particular interest in the plastic arts and in literature.
His personality and intelligence were rst noted in the well-known 'liceo.’ Bercher. in Milan. where he had the good fortune to be taught by some brilliant teachers. and where he had as companions such students as Alberto Mondadori. who subsequently became one of ltaly's greatest publishers. With some of these he founded in I933 the ammgarde fortnightly. ('ammi'nare. which established itself as the training ground for anti-Fascist youth.
Having entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Polirecnieo of Milan. he became a member of the editorial committee of Correme, a lively review which dealt with cultural problems. During this period he wrote some short stories and articles and. for the rst time began. as a lm critic. to display his interest in that newest of arts. the cinema. _Simultaneously he began the arduous task of locating and assembling lms of historical and artistic importance and in collaboration with Mario
Ferrari and Luigi Comencini he founded a Film
winning Serizii Piem (I948 ).
Since that time his work as a director has known no stop: every tendency of Italian cinema found him ready and alert. putting into eect his motto. culled from experience. that a director should shOot as much as possible. alternating lms truly of his own with spectacular commercial products. These latter give him the opportunity to work. calmly and independently. making the lms that really interest him. lms of high artistic quality.
Despite the critical reservations above. not a single lm of Lattuada's can be considered useless.
