WAGES OF FEAR, 1953 At 7 o'clock- At 9 Explosive truck driving suspense by the "French Hitchcock. Auditorium "A" Angell Hall- $1.00 - YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING'X By LORRE WEIDLICH o'clock Leon Redbone walked on stage at the Ark Friday night and brought an immediate laugh from the audience by just say- ing, "Good evening, everybody," .. .. in the characteristically strange way for which he's known. Al- though I missed the nautical garb he wore during his last visit here, he still wore shades, and his songs were the same. He began with an old Jimmy Rodgers' song, "Looking Through Old Love Letters," and told the audience with his unique, I'm- putting-you-all-on grin, that it was his favorite song. Redbone's voice sounds 1 i k e the old 78's from which his songs come - it's difficult to believe the resemblance without hearing him in person. He sings blues and old popular tunes like "Mar- ='' : e" and "Beautiful Dreamer," all accompanied by his expert. finger picking. He is, above all, a really fine guitarist. Jimmy Rodgers seems to be one of his favorite songwriters - he men- tioned that he knew many of Rodger's songs and did, several of them, including "T.B. Blues." In spite of Redbone's obvious talent, his first set was not as exciting as it could have been. There was a bit too much repeti- tion in chord progressions, which he himself commented on, but more importantly, the m o o d throughout the set was the same. He seemed most of the time to be in a very private state of CULTURE FILMS-Cinema II offer and Clouzot's Wages of Fear while Cinema Guild offers Ar SE* Arch. Aud. MUSIC-The People's Be LE Jazz Ensemble and Marsh C ERG offers the Gaslighters and the Group tonight: the Music sch the old mind, totally out of touch with the audience. He played bits and pieces on his guitar between songs, as if he were letting it take him wherever it would. The second set was a marked change. His rapport with the aud- ience increased, and by the third song it was apparent that he was more into his material. He add- ed a harmonica, which he plays well, and for one song, "Come on in my kitchen," he used the bottleneck guitar. Possibly t h e high point of the set was "Don't Let It Bother You," one of his livelier songs and an excellent example of his fine guitar work. The audience responded enthus- iastically and continued to do so, and Redbone's own enjoyment was apparent. This mood and the high quality of his music lasted for the remainder of the eve- ning. There were also humorous mo-, ments during the performance. Some of the blues Leon sang could be taken either with amuse- ment or great seriousness, but the way he did them, straight- forward and without any at- tempts at humor, made them in- variably funny. "Mother, t h e Queen of My Heart," about a man who gives up playing cards after turning over his cards to see his mother's face reminding him of her deathbed plea not to gamble, brought a lot of laugh- ter from the audience. Leon is known for being somewhat of a character and probably a large 78s part of the audience came to see someone they had heard describ- ed more in terms of a novelty act than a serious performer. I was glad to see, though, that while there were the usual in-character remarks and laughs that I can only describe as Mephistophel- ean, Redbone did not play up his bizarre quality nearly as much as the last time, he was here, and his considerable talent and musicianship came huch more to the forefront.

"A" Angell Hall, s L'Eclisse at 7, 9:05 in By WILLIAM MITCHELL My home town newspaper al- ways makes one remark at the end of its movie critiques - a one-liner that goes something like: "If you are an Elliot Gould fan you'll love this movie" or "If you like violence this movie is for you." Hickey and Boggs might easily fall into this cliche -in , other words, "if you liked the old TV series I Spy you'll love this film" - except some- how there's more to it than that. True enough it does star Ro- bert Culp and Bill Cosby a n d they are detectives, but there ends any similarity with their old TV series. Where they were once internationally suave super sleuths moving briskly along on wine, women, and money, they are now Los Angeles bound, third-rate private detectives who drink beer, are divorced, and are perhaps, a better description, definitely destitute. Seedy is, perhaps, a better description. Forest fires barn more than trees -. Along comes a limp-wristed gentleman who offers them em- ployment and a considerable amount of money if they will lo- cate his girlfriend for him ("A switch-hitting sweet lips?" in- ciires Culn) and they're o f f . They soon discover that this "girl- friend" has a suitcase full of stolen money that a lot of other people would like to get their hands on, including several un- derworld organizations, the, L.A. Police Force, and Hickey a n d Boggs, who are in it for t h e $25,000 reward, you see. Beyond that, the plot turns out to be as elnsi! e as the girlfriend. B u t don't worry. The rather nebulous story line is not nearly so im- portant in this movie as t h e action and the characterizations, both of which are well done and plentiful. When the underworld organiza- tion starts looking for the girl- friend and the suitcase, t h e y don't mess around. They call out the "troops" (or "torpedoes"), in this case, three goons who seem to have an uncanny ability to be in the same place at the same time as Hickey and Boggs. Af- ter a few encounters, the torpe- does deside to eliminate the com- petition. Their methods are di- rect - high powered machine guns imaginatively mounted on the rear deck of a station wagon. Hickey and Boggs are armed with pistols, also apparently high powered since they invariably hold their guns with both hands, but they obviously feel a little shooting at people - Culp, in fact, closes his eyes to pull the trigger. However, everyone is usually a poor shot, so b o t h sides expend a lot of ammuni- tion shooting up the scenery in spectacular fashion. It is by no means dull stuff. Cosby and Culp both turn in fine performances as the two downtrodden detectives. T h e y manage to portray weary, burnt out men with remarkable ac- curacy, conveying a keen sense' of "the glory that was" - their clothes are several years out of' style, they drive a beat-up Thun- derbird, and they eat most of their meals in a chili burger stand. Somehow you know that life was not always this grim. The famous Cosby-Culp rapport and repartee is still there, but it seems a little deflated, as if their sense of humor is the only thing _ keeping Hickey and Boggs from going completely insane. It would not be hard to do. There is a third character worth mentioning, and that is the city of Los Angeles itself, rot- ting in the hot California sun- shine, so decayed it seems ready to fall into the ocean of its own accord. And it is filmed in colbr, which heightens the illusion of pervasive gangrene. There is one particularly fine scene in an of- fice building where the L.A. smog is compounded by yellow plastic shades at the windows to give a truly jaundiced effect. Robert Culp also directed the picture, and one would have to say that, all in all, it works very well in the genre of detective film, thanks to the stark realism with which he has infused every element of the movie. It is sus- penseful, well-performed, a n d even a little disturbing at times. I must admit quite frankly that when I went to see Hickey and Boggs I was prepared to watch a rehashing of the old I Spy scripts. But I was pleasantly sur- prised. 8:00 2 MASH 7 FBI 9 Movie-"Friends" Young girl with an inferiority complex complicates the lives of two friendly students. 50 David Frost 56 Video Variations 8:30 2 Sandy Duncan 4 McCloud 9:00 2 Dick Van Dyke 7 Movie-"Love Story" Eric So. gal still hasn't said he's -sorry. 9 Weekend 56 Masterpiece Theatre 50 Detroit Show 9:30 2 Mannix 50 Nitty Gritty 10:00 4 Night Gallery 9 CBC News 56 Firing Line (Jimmy Hoffa) 50 Lou Gordon 10:15 9 Religious Scope 10:30 2 Evil Touch 4 Profiles in Black 9 Rex Humbard 11:00 2 News, weather, sports 4 News, weather, sports 7 News, weather, sports 11:30 2 Name of the Game 4 Wild Wild West 7 Movie -"Honeymoon HoteV" (1964) Jilted bridegroom goes through with the honey- moon - alone. 9 Movie - "Copper Canyon" (1950) Confederate mine own- ers hassled by Northerners after Civil War. 50 For My People 12:00 50 Man in a Suitcase 12:30 4 News 1:00 2 Grambling Football Highlights of the Grambling - Prairie- view A & M game. 1:30 7 News 2:00 2 Golden Gospel 2:30 2 Death Valley Days 3:00 2 News 8:00-2 Gunsmoke 4 Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in 7 Pro Football.
