Abstract

Is THE Office of War Information making fullest use of our motion picture facilities? Mr. Wanger says no, and presents herein a forthright and vigorous criticism of the policies, personnel, and methods of the Motion Picture Bureau of the OWI. The author is president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and has produced a wide variety of entertainment films from Algiers and Foreign Correspondent to Eagle Squadron and Arabian Nights. Many of his productions have been attempts to advance the motion picture as a serious medium of expression, notably in the case of Gabriel Over the White House, Private Worlds, The President Vanishes, and Blockade. Mr. Wanger is also president of the Motion Picture Society for the Americas which is the Hollywood collaborator with the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs.
