Abstract

This article presents information about films that are being shown in the U.S. The questions raised by "Black Fury" has come to be more and more the most pressing of all questions in the minds of those who follow the cinema. Rarely have the metropolitan film reviewers been forced into an anguishing betrayal of confusion, self-contradiction and indecision. Certainly the producers of "Black Fury" must be credited with a certain bold ingenuity, a sense of the main box-office chance in turning to the plight of the coal-miners as a subject for a Hollywood picture. The film is very exciting. And Mr. Muni, as the swaggering, illiterate, misunderstood Joe Radek, who has disgraced himself by opposing the regular union, gives the most vigorous performance of his screen career.
