COMMERCIAL CINEMA
Telefon (Campus) Charles Bronson
portrays a Russian KGB agent in this
Don Siegel action-thriller. It throws
away an interesting plot idea half-way
through, but has more than enough
gratuitous explosive sequences to keep
action-lovers happy. **1/
The Gauntlet (State) Clint Eastwood
stars in and directed this hilarious

piece of self-parody. Eastwood fans,
come one, come all! ***
The World's Greatest Lover (Michi-
gan) GeneWilder's second stab at writ-
ing, directing and starring in his own
film is more pale, bland and completely
unamusing than his first. *1/2
Semi-Tough (Fifth Forum) A thinly-
amusing satire with psychological self-
help theories as its target. Michael Rit-
chie's direction just sprawls all over the
place; the result doesn't have a chance
to hang together. With Burt Reynolds,
Kris Kristofferson and Jill Clayburgh.

AUD. A, Angell Hall

Fri., Jan. 13

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
Director-FRED ZINNEMAN (1953)
Winner of eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, this critically
acclaimed WorldWar II film, based on James Jones' epic novel, is set in
Hawaii, just prior to the Pearl Harbor attack. BURT LANCASTER plays the
popular, but troubled, first sergeant who is having an affair with .the
captain's wife (DEBORAH KERR). Also starring FRANK SINATRA and DONNA
REED, who both won Oscars for their performances.
7 and 9 p.m. $1.501


Close Encounters of the Third Kind
(Fox Village) Steven Spielberg's ma-
jestic film about UFOs has an ambien-
ce of innocence and freshness that is
totally exhiliarating. Makes Star Wars
look like a TV movie. ****
The Goodbye Girl (Briarwood) Neil
Simon's script is his most'compelling
and human, yet refreshingly free of the
stodginess and obsessive one-liners that
characterized The Sunshine Boys and
Murder By Death. Richard Dreyfuss
performs marvelously. ***%
Star Wars (Briarwood) The one and
only. ***1/2
First Love (Briarwood) Starring
Susan Day of The Partridge Family
and William Katt, who might just turn
out to be the next Robert Redford. The
film suffers from an acute lack of in-
sight, intelligence, depth, humor and
sensitivity. Otherwise, a fine flick. *1/2
Saturday Night Fever (Briarwood)
Excellent sequences of disco dancing
and a surprisingly good performance
by John Travolta help overcome a
cliche script, and make this film an en-
tertainment. ***

CINEMA
Horsefeathers and Love Happy MLB
4, Horsefeathers at 7:00 and 10:15, Love
Happy at 8:30) Respectively, one of the
very best, and THE worst film the
Marx brothers ever made.
Slaughterhouse Five (Nat Sci Aud,
7:30 and 9:30) George Roy Hill's inter-
esting adaptation of the Vonnegut novel
has many redeeming qualities, yet the
very idea of transferring such a book to
the screen is inherently silly. ***
From Here to Eternity (Angell Aud
A, 7:00 and 9:15) Fred Zinneman's
classic World War II drama stars
Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster. "I
never knew it could be like this!" ***%
You Can't Take it With You (Old
A&D, 7:00 and 9:15) Unless you're ab-
solutely comatose, this jolly Frank
Capra film is sure to put a smile on your
face. With Jimmy Stewart. ****

CINEMA
Bringing Up Baby and To Catch a
Thief (MLB 3, 7:00 and 9:00, respec-
tively) Bringing Up Baby is one of the
classic screwball comedies, and stars
Hepburn and Cary Grant. To Catch a
Thief, an absolutely first-class Hitch-
cock thriller, also stars Grant, and
boasts the classic crop-dusting sequen-
ce. .
Diamonds Are Forever (Nat Sci Aud,
7:30 and 9:30) Not one of the better
Bond flicks, but it stars the better Bond,
Sean Connery. ***
Lacombe, Lucien (Angell Aud A, 7:00

times stunning examination of a young,
unhappy laborer during the German
occupation of France in World War II.

CINEMA
Midnight Cowboy (Angell Aud A, 7:00

and 9:00) John Schlesinger's night-
marish New York City is a rather
superficial satire of America, but the
brilliant performances of both Dustin
Hoffman and Jon Voight make this a
memorably moving look at two aim-
less, lonely souls. ***1/2
The Seven Samurai (Old A&D, 7:00
and 10:00) Arguably the best of Kuro-
sawa's film's, this grand epic has ex-
citement, dynamic realism and stun-
ning visual movement, all of which
combine to make it a masterpiece of the
highest order.*

2001: A Space Odyssey (Angell Aud
A, 6:45 and 9:30) Kubrick's remarkable
film probes the questions of human pro-

gress and destiny, and remains a true
original. Many breath-takingly beauti-
fulsequences. ***%
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Old
A&D, 8:00 only, free showing) This
silent, German expressionist classic is
a beautifully-crafted vision of chilling
horror and suspense. ***
Fireman's 'Ball (MLB 3, 7:00, 8:30
and 10:00) An early film by the director
of Cuckoo's Nest. Could be interesting.

CINEMA
Cries and Whispers (Angell Aud A,
7:00, 8:40 and 10:00) Many consider this
to be Bergman's masterpiece, and in-
deed, it boasts fine performances by
Liv Ullman and Ingrid Thulin, as well
as a beautifully-photographed set of in-
teriors. Unfortunately, the characteri-
zations are manifestly shallow, and
Bergman's supposed insight into the
nature of "woman" is almost offen-
sive. **
The Last Picture Show (Nat Sci And,
7:00 and 9:00) By far the best film by
Peter Bogdonovich, this low-key and
perceptive examination of small-town
American life in the '50s has many a
fine moment. ***1/2
Shane (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:15) A
western.
