The overwhelming vote given by greater part of public has so far been in favour of films which pass time easily and satisfy that part of imagination which depends on more obvious kind of daydreams.We make up for what we secretly regard as deficiencies by watching the stimulating adventures of other people who are stronger,more effective,or more beautiful than we are.The conventional stars act out our daydreams for us in a constant succession of exciting situations set in the open spaces,in the jungles or in the underworld of great cities which abounds in crime and violence.We would not dare to be in such situations but the situations are very exciting to watch since our youth is being spent in day-to-day routine of school,office or home.
