Tremendous impact.” —“Daily Mail” “Write to your local manager and demand to see it. I long from the bottom of a g?eat big aching heart for all to go and see it.” —“Sunday Chronicle” “Unique, Heartrending. You may feel an occasional shudder down your spine.” —“Daily Graphic” ""Some of us may be startled. Beyond praise, see it and praise for yourselves.” —“Sunday Times “THE SECRET GAME” “THE SECRET GAME” (THEIR SECRET ‘SHOCKED’ THE ADULT WORLD!) Awarded Grand Prix 1952 Venice Film Festival (Persons Under 13 Years Will NOT be Admitted.) The Story , 1940 the evacuation brought Paulette, aged 10. to the home of little Michel, who was only 11, Paulette’s parents had been killed. The village she was brought to was far away from everything. Death that was ruling the world at war, extended even to this little village. The children played at “Death.” They were animated by tender, pure and poetic feeling by that reverence not unmingled with horror, with which people regard death. And Paulette and Michel in that universe which they had created for themselves experienced the first and most marvellous love of their lifetime. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT “THE SECRET GAME,” IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE! (Released by International Film Dist.)
