Andre Malraux, whose new novel, “Man’s Hope,” has attracted wide attention, is now in Barcelona directing a film based on the novel. He is working under difficulties, for equipment is scanty and imperfect, and air raids are frequent. Every time there is an air raid the electric current is automatically turned off, sometimes ruining an elaborate scene that has been almost completed, and often bombs fall near enough to remind the director and his staff that there may be worse to come. Malraux hopes to finish his picture early this year and then plans to take the completed negative to America himself.
