Cahiers du cinéma n°31 - January 1954

This issue of Cahiers du Cinéma includes a variety of film-related topics, such as an analysis of the portrayal of women in French cinema since 1945, a detailed study of the trend of "psychological realism" and the work of Aurenche and Bost, a discussion of the virtues of Cinémascope, and its impact on framing. It also contains film reviews, articles about Eisenstein and French cine-clubs, as well as a consideration of the new medium of television, with a focus on the adaptation of G. B. Shaw's Pygmalion. The magazine touches on a wide range of subjects while promoting its own critical perspective.
