Glyns right material for film

• An attractive hero heroine, both in looks
  character. Each member of the audience should be
  able to feel themselves as living the part of one
  or other without offence to his moral code.
• An exciting, if possible, amusing certainly
  never depressing story.
• Beautiful settings clothes (necessarily
  implying perfect photography)
