I recently came across the following quote from a review of *For Whom The Bell Tolls*  (Sam Wood 1943), attributed to James Agee:

*colour is very nice for costume pieces and musical comedies, but it still gets fatally in the way of any serious imitation of reality*

The quote was cited in the write-up of the film in a television listings mag (probably Radio Times) so, apart from it's author, there was nothing to indicate the source of the original.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might go about finding the full text of Agee's original review?


Many thanks in advance.
