COMMERCIAL CINEMA
The Godfather: Part II -
(Michigan, 8 daily) - One of
the rare good motion picture se-
quels, Godfather II completes
and amplifies the epic tale of
the Corleone family. ***
The Towering Inferno-Fifth
Forum, 7:30, 9:30) - How dare
Richard Chamberlain put faul-
ty wiring in William Holden's
building! Especially when Paul
Newman gave him such explic-
it instructions. Now poor Steve
McQueen has to put the fire
out. Well, you get the idea:
star - studded trash. The best
part of the whole film is wait-
ing expectantly for Faye Dun-
away's dress to fall off. It nev-
er does. *
Dracula - (State, from 7
daily) - Andy Warhol and com-
pany return with another sick
attempt at rewriting the science
fiction classics. *
A Very Natural Thing-(Cam-
pus, from 7 daily) - Foreign
film fare.
The Man with the Golden
Gun - (The, Movies, Briar-
wood, from 10:30 daily)-James
Bond the third, alias Roger
Moore, returns again in another
of this ever - ghastly series. For
Ian Fleming freaks only. *
The Front Page - (The
Movies, Briarwood, from 10:30
daily) - Billy Wilder remakes
the classic Ben Hecht-Charles
MacArthur play and runs into
a few problems along the way.
Howard Hawks' version with
Cary Grant is still the best.
Funny, though. ***
Freebie and the Bean. -
(The Movies, Briarwood, from
10:30 daily) - This latest in
the progression of Warner Bros.
"screwball" comedies tries to
be funny but never quite makes
it. Alan Arkin stars. **

CINEMA
P a p e r Chase (New World,
MLB 3, 7, 9:30) - Frightfully
familiar view of the hustling
law students, fighting neck-and-
neck for that allmighty grade.
Close - to - home stuff.
Fantastic Planet (New World,
MLB 4, 7, 9:30) - Classy ani-
mated film that proves ulti-
mately more than a kiddie-fea-
ture.
It Happened One Night (Cine-
ma Guild, Arch. Aud., 7, 9:05)-
Clarke Gable and Claudette Col-
bert star in this academy
award-winning romantic com-
edy. Both entertaining and so-
phisticated.
Minnie and Moskowitz (Cine-
ma II, Angell Hall, Aud. A, 7,
9)-John Cassavetes bouncy
film that is not to be confused
with Art Carney's Harry and
Tonto.
The Way We Were (Media-
trics, Nat. Sci. Aud., 7:30, 9:30)

to the Gone With the Wind cult.

THE TUBE
A half-hour animated cartoon
adapted and updated from the
ancient Mel-Brooks-Carl-Reiner
2001 Year Old Man sketches
makes its television appearance
tonight at 8:30 p.m. on Channel
2, followed by John Wayne and
Slim Pickens in The Cowboys
(1972) on 7 at 9. In a rare mo-
ment Bruce Dern actually kills
Wayne for the most bizarre,
anti-climatic reasoning, and a
saddened comment is laid upon
years and years of Western
Wayne Cinema. At midnight
don't miss Marlon Brando,
Montgomery Clift and Dean
"nose job" Martin in The Young
Lions (1958), a fascinating end
to all those post-WW-I-B-movies
about military menopause.
Brando, dyed hair and all, gives
an excellent performance as the
tortured Nazi with many memo-
ries.

The Smothers Brothers finally
return to the airwaves tonight
on Channel 4 at 8 p.m., a long-

Gunsmoke on Channel 2, fea-
tured during the same time per-
iod. Later at 9 p.m. on Channel

The best thing about Tuesday
is Period of Adjustment (1962),
an intelligent comedy-drama
starring Jane Fonda, Tony
Franciosa and Jim Hutton. The
most amazing thing about this

unusual script.

ed by an even cheaper gangster
(Edmund O'Brien), to make a
star out of this extremely bar-
gain-basement - out - to - lunch-
Ritzy-CHEAP showgirl. Ewell is
the flawless genius from The Se-
ven Year Itch, lensed with Mari-,

Open City (Cinema Guild,
Arch. Aud., 7, 9:05)-This Ital-
ian-made film was shot in Rome
in 1946 and combines documen-
tary-like economy with political
fervor. The then newly-liberated
Italians dramatized their ex-

pride in the underground resis-

Robert Blake, the star of
films like Electra Glide in Blue
(1973) and In Cold Blood (1967),
premieres in a new weekly cop
show tonight called Baretta,
airing on 7 at 10 p.m. The first

(guess who?) Tom Ewell..
Blood on the Moon (1948), o
Channel 50 later at 11:30, star
Robert' Mitchum in a moody tal
of cowboys and ranch feuds.
The film was curiously mad
just prior to Bob's bust fo
smoking marijuara, and looks,
frankly, like some curious ston-
ed nightmare. Walter Brennan
is also featured.

Opening lead: queen of
hearts.
Winning dummy's ace of
hearts, declarer led a trump to
his king, cashed the queen of
trumps, andscontinued with a
trump to dummy's ace, on
which East sluffed a club.
Having drawn trump, declar-
er, hoping for a three - three
split, played the ace, king, and
another diamond. East, how-
ever, won the third round with
his jack and switched back to
hearts.
South ruffed the heart switch,
ruffed his fourth diamond in
dummy, and led a small club to
his queen. West won the king
of clubs, cashed his heart queen,!
and led to his partner's king to
set the contract a trick.
In his haste to draw trump,
declarer doomed his contract to
failure when it was cold for an
overtrick. Upon winning the ace
of hearts, South should imme-
diately ruff a heart with the
nine of spades. Returning to the
board with a small spade, he
should ruff another heart. Fin-
ally, he should lead to dummy's
diamond ace and ruff the last
heart with his remaining trump.
This line of play will yield
tricks in the form of four
spades, one heart and three
heart ruffs, two diamonds, and
one club, irregardless of the dia-
mond split or the location of the
king of clubs.
