Amr films bad for old men? This is a question which might never have occurred to anybody but for Dr. Van Staveren, a Holland scientist, who says:

Without further information from the learned. doctor one supposes we shall never know whether he means gangster films, films which over-emphasise sex, or British comics.
If he means gangster films, it seems -improbable that they would influence old gentlemen to the extent of making them take suddenly to a life of crime, and if he means films which Over-emphasise sex the sooner old gentlemen are barred from the cinemas the better for everybody.
It is much more likely that he means British comics, Too much laughter when you are very old is bad for the heart.
