Le Joti Mai
Cinema II, Aud. A
Sun., 7, 9
Chris Marker's 1966 Le Joli
Mai, although a little disorganiz-
ed and somewhat long, is a splen-
did example of French cinema-
verite.
Le Joli Mai is billed as a docu-
mentary about Paris and its peo-
ple in spring." But it is more
than that - it is not just an-
other travel film about Paris,
stuffed to overflowing with shots
of the Eiffel Tower. Instead, it
is a fascinating study of the daily
lives of Parisians from all walks
of life.
Simone Signoret and Yves
Montand narrate the picture.
Music is by Michel Legrand.
-DAVID BLOOMQUIST
Across the Pacif ic
Cinema II, Aud. A
Sat., 7, 9
A thriller spy movie from John
Huston, master of the twisting
plot.
Humphrey Bogart as soldier
Leland is kicked out of the Ar-
my for theft, but that's really
only a ruse to allow him td work
undetected as an Army intelli-
gence agent.
Sydney Greenstreet seems to
be an urbane, dignified college
professor, but is really a spy for
the Japanese in the last few
days before Pearl Harbor.
-WILLIAM MITCHELL .
An Autumn Afternoon
Cinema II, Aud. A
Fri., 7, 9
One of Jspan's finest and most
sensitive directors, Yasujiro Ozu
emerged as a critically - acclaim-
ed talent with his immortal Tok-
yo Story in 1953. Since his death
in 1963 many of Ozu's films have
been repeatedly shown and ap-
plauded for their lyrical beauty
and precise reality.
An Autumn Afternoon is not to
be missed; it is a fl Awlesssly ar-
ticulated work of art.

Kid Galahad and
Angels with Dirty Faces
UAC-Medihtrics, Nit. Sci. Aud.
Sat., 7, 9:30
Kid Galahad (1937) is by far
one of the best boxing dramas
ever made, starring the immor-
tal Edward G. Robinson and
Bette Davis.
Angels With Dirty Faces, also
by Hollywood director Michael
Curtiz, is an unprecedented tale
of fear in New York with the
Dead End Kids and James Cag-
ney matching' wits against Fath-
er Pat O'Brien. The final scene
in which Cagney breaks down

-MICHAEL WILSON
Yellow Submarine
UAC-Mediatrics, Nat. Sci. Aud.
Fri., 7, 9:30
There is no animation around
to compare with the technical vir-
tuosity achieved in Yellow Sub-
marine. Although the film is a
few years old and the Beatles
have since broken up it seems
nothing can break the spell Sub-
marine casts over its audience.
The songs are of course jewels
and the story is very, very amus-
ing, Listen for Love Story author
Erich Segal's crisp dialogue in the
middle of all the cartoon fun and
you will realize he does have
talent.
-MICHAEL WILSON
illicit Interlude
Cinema Guild, Arch. Aud.
Fri., 7, 9
Ingmnr Bergman is known pri-
marily for the deep and dark
soul - searching of his meta-
physical dramas, but he also can
be light and lyrical as in Illicit
Interlude, set against the natur-
al beauty of the Swedish country-
side.
It concerns a ballerina who
discovers the diary of a former
lover tragically }killed during the
s'imnmer of their romance. By re-
living a boat cruise they took to-
gether, she is able to make sense
of her present love life.
-MICHAEL WILSON
The Spider Stratagem
Cinema Guild, Arch. Aud.
Sat., Sun., 7, 9
Made for Italian television be-
fore The Conformist and Last
Tango in Paris, The Spider Stra-
tagem is probably Bernardo Ber-
tolucci' s simplest and most acces-
sible film.
In it, a young man returns to
the town where his father, a local
hero, was murdered by Fascists
during the war, only to discover
that his father was responsible
for planning his own killing.
This movie is not your conven-
tional who-dun-it, but the untang-
ling of the intricate web of
events and reasons makes it quite
interesting.
-MICHAEL WILSON
Black Film Festival
Friends of Newsreel,
MLB, Aud. 3, 4
Fri., 7:15, 9:30
The Landlord is an hilarous
farce about a wealthy white boy,
trying to make it in Pearl Bai-
ley's neighborhood. Beau Brid-
ges co-stars with Bailey in this
film which hits home, exposing
hypocrisy.
The much - applauded, seldom-
seen documentary Malcolm X,
narrated by actor James Earl
Jones, shares the bill with Land-
lord in what promises to be a
dynamite double-feature.
Sat., 7:15, 9:30
Superfly is the story of one man
trying to make it out of the dope-
pushing world with his wallet and
spirit intact. It is an original, en-
tertaining film with musical high-
lights by Curtis Mayfield.
Across 110th Street is far more
realistic, however, in its por-
trayal of some of New York's
Harlem inhabitants and their sur-
vival-of-the-fittest code.
Anthony Quinn plays a detec-
tive on the trail of Tony Franci-
osa, a sadistic Italian gangster.
The picture works remarkably
well as a vehicle for Quinn's
multi-talented, washed-up police-
man-the best role he has had in
years.
Sun., 7:15, 9:30
Book of Numbers, directed by
Raymond St. Jaques, is the story
of two hustlers organizing a num-
bers game in the ghetto of a
small southern city.
It is well-conceived and acted,
though the film seems to drag
somewhat' toward the end.
Herbert Biberman's classic Salt
of the Earth is shown concurrent-
ly with Numbers.

approved by
National Organization for Women
mentaries, is by no means a
technically great hour and a half
of film-yet it is still a fascinat-
ing and totally relaxing motion
picture.
The story is simple: we travel
along with two surfers making a
round - the - world search for a
"perfect" wave. Endless Sum-
mer is, in fact, really at its best
when the camera turns toward
the ocean and the attempts of the
surfboard aficionados to master
waves from California to South
Afric a.
-DAVID BLOMQUIST
Visions of Eight, which Time
called "Cheap-shots of Eight,"
presents the Munich Olympics as
viewed by eight famous directors.
For those of you who are im-
pressed by that sort of thing, the
directors are Foreman, Ichika-
wa, Lelouch, Ozerov, Penn,
Pfleghar, Schlesinger, and Zetter-
ling.
There are no new points-of-
viewer insights, only the same
slow-motion and trick editing that
you can catch each week on the
N.F.L. films. Hardly worth pay-
ing for, don't you think?
-ROBERT BIANCO
The Outfit
Michigan
After a long, hard climb up the
movie success ladder that cul-
minated in his portrayal of the
family lawyer in The Godfather,
Robert Duvall now has his pick
of scripts, co-stars and direc-
tors.
Why on earth hesconsentedto
do this violent mess about Ma-
fia money we'll never know. Kar-
en Black tries to co-star but does
little more than cry a lot.

-TONIGHT-
M alcolm X "staggering adapatotio1of
the autobiography." "bril-
liantly constructed documentary . . . it stands as a
vital record of a man of our time." "immensely
powerful and admirably responsible . . . extra-
ordinary footage captures the quality of Black Life
in America."

The Landlord
Beau Bridges, Lee Grant, Diana Sands, Pearl Bailey.
An independently-minded rich white boy buys on
inner-city tenement, with a mind to convert it into
a "swinging" townhouse. His involvement with the
ghetto residents of "his" builidng,-however, changes
his mind. Like most films dealing with relations be-
tween the races, it is a "sleeper," but Diana Sands
and Pearl Bailey performances should "awaken"
any audiences that see this film.
-TOMORROW-Saturday, Oct.20
Superf ly a film you may think you've
seen. "the one to see: an
intelligent, perceptive, fast-paced movie. A solid
script, solid acting, a musical score by Curtis May-
field. It is a very important movie."-ABV-TV.
"brilliant. It has a solid, tense plot, eye-catching
settings, sex, whirlwind pacing."-Harper's-and
-The New York Times: "A briliantly idiomatic
film. Its gut pleasures are real and there are a lot
of them; a very good movie."
