Gala Comeback
For Movie Vets
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD—Motion pictures,
like every other industry and
nearly every home, have the prob
lem of adjusting the returning
veteran, and Leslie Fenton thinks
Hollywood should start making
plans.
“The only arrangement so far,’’
Fenton said in his producer’s of
fice, “is the stipulation that the
veteran can have his old job back.
But that isn’t enough, because
many of them don’t want their old
job back and deserve something
better.
“There have been a lot of young
men who went into the service
from insignificant jobs in the mov
ies. They have learned a lot about j
picture making in the photograph
ic branches of the Army and
Navy. Many have done magnifi
cent work. One needs only to see
‘Fighting Lady’ to realize that.
“Those men are not going to be
content to return to polishing
cameras, as they were doing be
fore the war. And they shouldn’t
have to.”
Fenton, himself is a veteran. He
was a well-known actor in the
early Thirties until he decided he
was being typed as a gangster. He
was a promising young director
until he joined the Royal Navy in
1940. He served as a lieutenant
aboard a torpedo boat and also
made documentary films for the
government.
Fentons transition to civilian
life was successful. He continued.
I
making films for the British gov- •
ernment after his Navy discharge
and then came to Hollywood to
direct “Tomorrow the World” and
“G.I. Joe.” At present he is pre-1
paring “Pardon My Past,” which,
he and Fred MacMurray will pro
duce.
The director said the solution to
the problem of finding jobs for
servicemen who have become ex
pert film makers might be in a,
program of films sponsored and
subsidized by the government.
“The veterans could make doc- ]
umentaries to help sell the United
States to the rest of the world, j
Heaven knows the U. S. will need
some selling. The documentaries
could counteract the bad impres
sions created by commercial
films.”
He said that foreigners get the
impression from American movies
that every stenographer lives in
luxury in a penthouse.
“And when the other side is
shown, as in ‘Grapes of Wrath,'
the producers go too far the other
way.”
Fenton thinks the influx of ser
vicemen film-makers will refresh
the industry.
“They’ve been shooting the real
thing and they’ve done some won
derful work. There’s an essential
honesty about it.”
