I have had to add a footnote to the Balloon Rule to account for " The Wizard of Oz," but nevertheless the rule usually holds true. Not more than 20 minutes into the film, I was reminded of that invaluable glossary entry titled Brotman's Law, which is named for the Chicago movie exhibitor Oscar Brotman and which states, "If nothing has happened by the end of the first reel, nothing is going to happen." I settled in for the long haul, only to be roused from my reverie by the appearance of a hot air balloon on the screen. It is a tragic love story told in limp images, its tone a dying sigh, its high points scarcely less nostalgic than the low. But "Torrents of Spring" is not the usual movie. It isn't often that one movie illuminates two of the entries in the Glossary of Movie Terms, which you will find in the back of my Movie Home Companion.
