Detectives See Dream Movie As Minor Menace, but Moral

Three Cambridge detectives acting as censors previewed "Dreams That Money Can Buy" yesterday before its scheduled evening performances at the New Lecture Hall to make sure the movie was fit for local consumption. The officers watched the screen intently for ninety-three minutes but failed to find any over-realistic scenes in the surrealist flicker.

"It's good and deep, all right," one of the trio commented after the showing. A second, apparently puzzled by the film's symbolic intricacies, could only mutter that "the actors were pretty good."

Last night's show was past of Ivy Film's fall series, and was shown at a Boston theatre several years ago without censorial action. The version shown last night was uncut but slightly revised by the producers.
