F. Andrew Rice
F. Andrew Rice had a difficult task when he succeeded Alistair Cooke as radio film critic at the beginning of April. But maybe there is something in common about these two Cambridge men that gets over when they talk on films on the air. Both edited The Granta, both visited
America before broadcasting on films over here. Rice has made good with listeners just as Cooke did.
His greatest compliment is that the panel of listeners who heard his talks in the summer were warm in their praises of him; his next best compliment is that, as a result, he is being re-engaged to talk on films in the coming spring.
