Cinema: Disrespected French

Out of respect to an intimation from the French Embassy last year, Warner Brothers withdrew its Devil’s Island from circulation. Paramount’s Beau Geste, investigating in the African Foreign Legion another aspect of their Empire which Frenchmen do not like to talk about, was barred by Canada from Francophile Quebec. Last week, as Devil’s Island reappeared in the U. S., Beau Geste was advertised in Quebec.
