"Americanization ‘Ef Emily’ Plot looks

“Bey ond Traditional Wartime Romance

“The oan of Emi-
ly,’’ beginning an indeterminate
run at Philadelphia’s Fox Thekter,

cannot be classed as the standard .

‘twartime romance” that a super-
ficial review of the plot might
indicate,

The American Naval officers
it deals with.are not fighting men,
but those who vacillate between
various capers’ in their desk jobs
to amours in London’s Westches-

ter Hotel, These men often exhibit |

only dubious devotion to the mili-
tary duty the screen tends to
glorify excessively, The hero, in
fact, played by James Garner, an
expert ‘‘dog robber,’’ or supplier
of luxuries for his commanding
officers, is .an avowed coward,

and seems an especially unlikely
subject for romance, especially
where Julie Andrews, a “‘prig-
gish” war widow and driver for
+the American forces, is concerned,

It appearg¥" however, that this
anti-glorification of war and war-
time fomangs y'succeeds in produc-
ing one of e truer and subtler
pictures of war seen on the screen
in quite a while; eventually, the
upstanding Miss Andrews sees in
Garner’s cowardice a more con-
structive and positive attitude to-
wards ‘war ‘and peace, than might
be found da, the greatest show of
valor,

these truths which

one, It would be tedious to detail

the many absurdities in the plot

which also concerns American in-
tra-service rivalries and the im-
pending arrival of D-Day. The

same could be said for the movie’s
frankness, although this .always
remains within the bounds of good

taste. Miss Andrews, making an
expert transition from the’ slightly. — ‘
saccharine ‘‘Mary Poppins,” is en,
able to exclaim, ‘*God! I hope I

don’t get pregnant!’? - and get
away with it in the course of her
liaison with Garner, In many lesser
movies, a mere innuendo would be
inexcusable.

An excellent supporting cast,
including Melvyn Douglas, Joyce
Grenfell, and James Coburn, does
justice to Martin Ransohoff’s di-_
rection and Paddy Chayesfsky’s
screenplay, which may.be overly
