EX TRA PERFORMANCE'S
tache is excellent as a defiant sol-
dier out to upset legal autocracy.
However, the best performance
is given by big, lithe Ossie Davis,
who renounces his prisoner-status
by removing the symbol of army
authority, taking off his prison
uniform, frolicking only in his
underwear. He declares himself a
civilian outside of army jurisdic-
tion. Davis is excellent in the
dramatic scenes and superlative in
the comic scenes.
Ian Barran, as the sympathetic
task-officer, managed to be con-
vincing without being sticky-
sweet. Harry Andrews who played
the tough sergeant-major was
handicapped in his stereotyped
role of aneofficer who lives for
killing alone.
British accents, too thick to be
By GERALD AHRONHEIM
At The Cinema Guild
The second half of Olympia,
Leni Riefenstahl's documentary
epic of the 1936 Berlin Olympic
Games, begins with an idyllic se-
quence taken in the Olympic Vil-
lage. Once highly controversial,
the shots of athletes training,
getting acquainted and relaxing
are reminiscent of classical gym-
nasia.
This mood is heightened by the
slow-motion sequences of the gym-
nastics competition which follow.
These sequences are effectively
climaxed by a stunning series of
fancy dives shot from a multitude'
of angles; the final sequence sil-
houettes divers soaring birdlikeI
against the clouds.
and the occasional swastika em-
blem or flag, there is a conspic-
uous absence of political over-
tones in this second half of Olym-1
pia. Originally intended at least
in part as a propaganda vehicle
for the Nazi Reich, the film fails
at this task in more subtle fash-
ions than merely in its depictions
of the frequent German defeats
at the Games.;
One cannot help but make note
of the bearing, demeanor and fa-
cial expressions of a German
Army officer as he works towards
his gold medal in the modern pen-
tathlon, and his unintended con-;
formity to a popular stereotype.
The refreshing youthfulness of
the teenaged American runnerup
contrasts surprisingly with his
opponent's slow-witted bullish-
ness.
