The four figures that domin- ate the large cast are William Efolden, a presumed American naval officer in the prison camp; Alec Guinness, a British colonel and dîsciplinarian: Jack Hawkins, a British commando officer; and Sessue Hayakawa, steel-nerved commander of the prison camp. The story written by Pierre Boulle, based on his novel of the same title, diverges inta two parts: the struggle and drama involved in building the bridge, and the struggie and drama in- volved in the commanda attempt to blow up the bridge. Direction by David Lean is sinewy and perceptive. with ex- plosive entertainment values foremost. The danger-laden trek over rugged terrain of the commando unit, headed by Hawkins and including Holden and Geoffrey Homne is a bril- .cantly-executed job of direction and story. The climax is one of shattering power in which the bridge is blown up but much that is unfomeseen happens. Acting is on a supcrbly high level ail around, with special cammendation deserved by Hol- den, Guinness, Hawkins, Homne and James Donald, a medical offic cr who exhibits great moral strength. Scout News isi Bowmanville Scout Troop Saturday night a we2k a--.), when everybody in the towti was compiaining about the cold snowy weather, the Scouts with their Scout Master had a 'To- boggan Party'. Eighteen boys from the lst Bowmanville Scout Troop met at the Lions Centre where the.y were arganized and transport- ed by Mr. Watson and Mr. Me- Coy. It was rather unfortunate that only two of the Patrol Leaders found it passible ta at- tend; they wvere: Lowell High- field and Ted Watson. How- ever, the Secanders fromn the other patrols wcre on the job, iýamelv: - Pat Vetzal, Allan Plummer. These boys assiste-I greatly by helping ta look after the smallem boys. Mr. Watson who s0 kindly of- fered v's transportation ta and frorn the party, lived up ta his every promise. Momeso, he gra- ciously opened his lovely homné and gave the boys f ree access where they cnjoyed a neyer-ta- be-fomgotten-evening. There was faood of every description that one could expect for a 'Scout Party'. The boys ate and were fiiled . . . "How many baskets remained?" Well . . . the foodi was s-nrved an trays . . .. Many of the boys jokingly' exclaimned bhey hadi gained pounds after they had eaten such a tasty neai. 0f course, Mrs. Watson .vho has three boys of her own, knows how Ia prepare for boys. She gave evemy thaught ta the mecnu. She must have been a 'Girl Guide ? ?" What of the entertainment? .Oh, yes. Mm. Watson who p1ays the piano quite well tookz us back to some of the ola smart rLumbers, which brauglit some of the boys ta their feet f'or a few dances.
