Czechoslovakia was represented by Ivan Passer's "Intimate Light- ing." This, Passer's first film, is a light-hearted story of two young musicians, envious of each other's social standing. Peter (Zdenek Blzusek) is a cellist with the Prague Symphony Orchestra. He is a bachelor, free, and with a pretty young woman (Vera Kres- adlova) in tow. Bambas (Karel Blazek), who has invited Peter to play as a soloist with his vil- lage orchestra, has the security of a wife, a steady job, and a home. Peter desires security; Bambas a "free life." In the film ,nothing is resolved. Passer just presents a number of incidents which occurred during Peter's two-day stay with Bambas. The best of these occurs when, two other . musicians arrive and when, together, they play a Beet- hoven string quartet. Two of the musicians are not up to Beethoven. and the quartet reverts to a glor- ious piece of "ordinary language" coffee-house dialogue. Visually the film is unexciting. Passer relies, on well-used cam- era techniques. (This is a char- acteristic of the other two films as well.) When Bambas says that he is going to play "Jirovet" at the con- cert ("he is old and simple, but has something"), Passer seems to be giving his own "raison d'etre." But "old and simple" do not nec- essarily give us something mean- ingful. This is the trouble with "Intimate Lighting": simplicity has been played up at the expense of content. The Yugoslavian film, "Three," by Alezsander Petrovic, is the sort of war film the Czechs would have made a few years ago. The usual polemics which accompany war films have been reduced to a minimum and in their place an individual's response to the war is examined. Milof (Velimir Barta) sees three deaths, that of a wrong- ly accused fifth columnist, that of a friend in the resistance movement, and that of an extra- ordinarily attractive girl who is executed for her association with the Gestapo. Irrespective of other relative guilt, these deaths affect Milof equally. Again the director plumbs for simplicity. But tb this reviewer, 19th century "cause and effect" seems too simple a tool to analyze the involved and frag- mented "world" of the war. Rene Allio's first feature film, "The Shameless Old Lady," is an adaptation of a short story by Brecht. Madame Berthe (Sylvie) is 70 years old, and in reaction to her husband's death she starts to, live it up. Shamelessly she spends her money, enjoys "modernity," department stores, gadgets, etc. -and makes friends with two ofi the less desirable villagers (that is by village standards). The familyj is shocked. We, too, don't seem to be able to take wild living from the old. Lawrence Olivier's film, "Richard Around the World" in Aud. C.

This is the Swingline Tot Stapler Thank you, Michigan Daily, for your fearless EXPOSE of COMPUTER DA TING It has long been the bane of Michigan Scientific Introduction Service's existence to be classed incorrectly with hit-or-miss computer dating deals. Now, with your timely comments, we can make our differences known and finally be understood by our public. 1. YES-we do use computers, but they aren't the root of the problem anyway. 2. NO-we are not a mail order operation. Our people are personally selected. Then they are screened and evaluated by trained members of our staff in addition to completing detailed, confidential ques- tionnaires about their appearance, attitudes, background, etc. Thus, your dates are personally checked out for you rather than being just anyone who happens to make up the right answers on a mail order form. 3. NO-we do NOT operate on a "one shot," "better luck next time" basis. Members' names are continually reprocessed and rematched to give a succession of dates over a long period of time. AND, after each date, you and your date rate each other so we can constantly improve the quality of your dates. 4. YES-four successful years in Ann Arbor, constant re-evaluation of our techniques of assessing what people are like and what they want in dates, plus an existing file of thousands of sharp people that are serious dating prospects gives you more than just names on a com- puter print-out. And, it means that you date the people you have been wanting to without spending many $ and much time trying to find and meet them. A 4 u k "i 5. NOW HEAR THIS-maybe some people have to "rely on computer dating" to get dates-but not our members! M.S.I.S. people (mostly college people, but ranging in age from 16 to 83) don't have trouble getting dates-they're just more discriminating people supplementing the usual hit-or-miss methods of finding "really special" dates by vastly expanding the number of appropriate people available to them. 6. YES-we are a luxury-and we exist for the sharp, discriminating person who wants a lot out of life, and a lot out of a date! 7. SO-if vou're a II 1111 iii Stapler only$1.49 I I! I I Ili I
