He plays a postman in a small French village who after seeing an educational film about the "modern" American post office, attempts to apply those methods to the rural French system with hilarious results.

Rogers plays the title role of a small town judge, who solves the problems of the townfolks with the wisdom of Soloman and the wit of Will Rogers. This is the America that Ronald Reagan remembers.

(1942, COLOR, 109 MIN) Sabu, Joseph Calleria, John Qualen, Frank Puglia, Rosemary DeCamp, directed by Zoltan Korda. The most imperialistic of British writers, Rudyard Kipling wrote two Jungle Books while living quietly in Vermont. This imaginative film combines the most adventurous and unusual parts of both books so the audience is treated to a boy raised by wolves, a hunt for a man eating tiger, a lost civilization and a treasure hunt. The boy is befriended by many of the animals in the jungle, as he knows some of their "languages". Brilliantly photographed and musically scored, this is a film far superior to the modern cartoon version by Disney. AAN CINEMATOGRAPHY, MUSIC, SPECIAL EFFECTS.

KANSAN, THE ****************
(1943, BW, 79 MIN) Richard Dix, Jane Wyatt, Victor Jory, Eugene Pallette, Albert Dekker, Rod Cameron, directed by George Archainbaud.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY - JAPAN ****************
(1942, BW, 63 MIN) Produced by the U.S. Army as an orientation film for American service men in the early stages of W.W.II. This is a somewhat less than unbiased look at Japan, its people, history, religion, geography, politics, military and the god-worship of Hirohito. The film was intended to make Americans hate Japanese, and it probably fulfilled its mission. In viewing it we must put it in the context of the times - shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. There is excellent footage of many aspects of Japanese culture. But keep in mind it is pure propaganda.

In fact, the monster begins its rampage by murdering the Baron and escaping into the surrounding village. The daughter goes to medical school and comes back to restart the family biz. This time making a hunk for more personal uses.

Phillips is an innocent man whom the guards love to taunt. Foster is a career criminal who manages to capture a guard and start a doomed rebellion.
