V-12 Goes Mad at Movies; Discloses Plot for New Scenario
They’re still clapping at the cinema these days.' According to applause volume, Donald Duck is the film favorite, with FDR tailing a close second.
Which reminds__pie, I’m about to write a movie myself. It will begin with stirring music which usually ushers in a spy thriller or a ghost story. This will be both. The scene will first flash to London Intelligence. Then off to Belgium and down in a parachute to plot with the underground.
But first, a touching farewell »Mother; “Goodbye, old Thing!” 'Cherrio, son, mind you're back for tea!” And so, off to Fortress Europe!
Fadeout — Fadein — Gestapo Headquarters where our hero has •■wned a swastika and a gutteral •fount. Then follows a lusty chase »•ugh the streets of old Rotter-•a® where the hero rescues a girl
from the clutches of a Nazi officer.
Oddly enough, they fall in love. He falls in love, she falls in love, and the villian gets jealous. She gets mad. (I haven’t figured out how, just yet, but she’ll have to or MGM will never accept it).
At last, the finale! She is caught He is caught. They are condemned to die. At the last moment, she madly confesses love, the underground swarms over the wall and kill the firing squad, the Nazi Commandant is killed by the hero, the plant blows up, Berlin is blasted, 2,000 Nam’s are drowned, 967 subs are sunk, 4,689 Messershmidts are shot down, Hitler takes poison, and the couple fly back to England in a stolen Stuka—in time for tea!
Oh, yes. I nearly forgot. The 'Jap commits hari-kari. And if you want to know how he got in, Lee Mason sent him.—JM, V-12.
