November 18
CINEMA
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
(MLB 4, 7:00 and 10:15) The incom-
parable Python troupe at its best.
Daffy fun. ****
Start the Revolution Without Me
(MLB 4, 8:40 only) Gene Wilder and
Donald Sutherland are about the only
good things in this comedy concern-
ing two pairs of identical twins who
are mixed up at birth, but there are
some good moments. Cameo by
Orson Welles. **/2
Satyricon (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:15)
.,, t
Many find this surrealistic, winding
journey through the decadence that
was ancient Rome to be a feast for
the senses, but from this corner it's
nothing but tedious, sloppily-realized
rubbish. Fellini at his worst. *%
It Happened One Night (Angell
Aud A, 7:00 and 9:00) It is reported to
us that when Gable took off his shirt
in this movie and exposed his bare
chest, t-shirt sales plummeted. At
any rate, a suer movie, and one of
the classic screwball comedies. ****
Deliverance (Nat Sci Aud, 7:30 and
9:30) An intense, compelling tale of
four city-dwellers who embark on a
fateful canoe trip down in hillbilly
country. Many powerful and disturb-
ing scenes, with excellent perform-
all week
COMMERCIAL CINEMA
Annie Hall and Love and Death (Campus) Woody Allen's best two
films, and both comic masterpieces in their own right. One can't see
these two too many times. ****
Fantasia (State) The celebrated animated feature, starring the
Philadelphia Orchestra and Mickey "Mr. Stokowski, Mr. Stokowski"
Mouse. Take the kids. ***1/2
I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (Michigan) Another
Cuckoo's Nest this ain't, but Kathleen Quinlin's performance is worth
the price of admission. **1/2
Heroes (Fifth Forum) Henry Winkler stars in what has to be his
best role since his classic performance in the '56 version of King Lear.
Sally "Flying Nun" Field co-stars. Tepid. **
Star Wars (Briarwood) George Lucas' space spectacular stars
Mark Hammill and special effects. We hear the record is sitting
through seven straight showings. ****
Looking For Mr. Goodbar (Briarwood) A film that tries hard to of-
fer some insight into our society, but falls miles short of success. Wor-
th seeing, but hardly "riveting." Diane Keaton stars. **%
Bobby Deerfield (Briarwood) Bobby (Al Pacino) and his term-
inally-ill, life-loving girlfriend (Marthe Keller) traipse around a nicely
photographed Europe. An extremely unexciting movie. **2
Oh, God! Believe it or not, this one is still here. Outside of George
Burns' presence (and even that can get a little tiresome), there's nary
an amusing moment. **
A Piece of the Action (Fox Village) A reasonably entertaining ac-
tion comedy, directed by and starring Sidney Poitier. Also starring
Bill Cosby. ***

8:45) An early Lina Wertmuller film,
with more humor and spunk than
several of her later efforts. Well
worth seeing. ***
The Maltese Falcon (Old A&D, 7:00
and 9:05) If ever a classic deserved
its reputation, then John Huston's
version of the Dashiell Hammett
novel does. A must see. ****
Small Change (Angell Aud A, 7:00
and 9:00) Truffaut's affectionate look
at the mischevious, mystical world of
childhood. Wonderful.****
Sleuth (Nat Sci Aud, 7:00 and 9:30)
Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine

CINEMA
King of Hearts (Angell Aud A, 7:00
and 9:00) The ultimate campus cult
comedy, but a deserved classic. De
Broca's film is a beautiful and posed
little fable, and the often splendid
comedy overshadows its tiredsocial
message.; If 'you are amgong' the
unprivileged hold-outs, see it. ***
Kwaidan (Old A&D, 8:00 only, free
showing) A Japanese film, directed
by Masaki Koh-dak.
EVENTS

phonist Laura Hunter. At noon, the

CINEMA
The Lady Vanishes (Old A&D, 7:00

iously disappears aboard a train.
This Hitchcock effort is somewhat
overrated, but has some fine mo-
ments. ***
