Page 6-Friday, December 2, 1977-the Michigan Daily HAP]?PEININGS events and entertainment for the week of Dec. 2-6 All Week COMMERCIAL CINEMA The Hazing (Campus) An el cheapo. production that chronicles a fraternity hzing gone nightmare. Awfully bad. *1/2 -Flesh Gordon and The Groove Tube (State) Flesh Gordon is neither very in- ventive nor very pornographic. Its kIggest similarity to the original Flash Gordon is the size of the budget. The Cjroove Tube is an uneven, scatological - stirization of television, with then un- known Chevy Chase. **/2 Another Man, Another Chance (Mich- igan) Unseen by this reviewer, this new ftlm by Claude Chabrol of French New Wave Fame appears to be some sort of sestern. With James Caan. Heroes (Fifth Forum) Quite simply, 5 vehicle for Henry Winkler, and tothing more. *1 Darby O'Gill and the Little People (Fox Village) A sachirrene-injected kid's' flick from the Disney assembly line. Steer clear. Star Wars (Briarwood) George Lucas' labor of love is nothing less than a total success. With spectacular spe- cial effects and great non-acting per- formances. **** Looking For Mr. Goodbar (Briar- wood) Not nearly the film it could have been. Richard Brooks' laborious direc- tion makes this a heavy-handed, "meaning"-laden production, and he lays the superficial insight on thick; the kind of film you wouldn't ever want to sit through again. Diane Keaton is ex- cellent though. **1/2 Bobby Deerfield (Briarwood) Lethargic, go-nowhere story of an emo- tionally frigid race-car driver (Al Pa- cino) who learns to loosen up via his terminally-ill girlfriend (Marthe Keller). **1/2 Oh, God! (Briarwood) Joke: God (George Burns) takes the witness stand, promising to tell the truth "so help me, Me." If that isn't warning enough, let me just say that the above is one of the best jokes in the film. *1/2 fri*day December 2 CINEMA Murder She Said and Murder Most Foul (MLB 3, 7:00 and 8:40, respective- ly) Agatha Christie's Miss Marple is portrayed by Margaret Rutherford with great warmth and wit in these decent comedies. Both directed by George Pollock. *** Reefer Madness (MLB 3, 10:20) The high campiness of this early-1900s anti- marijuana film is fun for about five minutes; unfortunately, the film's a lot longer than that, and it gets mighty tedious. ** The Big Sleep (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:05) Adapted from ' the Raymond Chandler novel and directed by Howard Hawks, this incredibly complex thriller is one of the classic Bogart-Bacall flicks. ***% Rebel Without a Cause (Angell Aud A, 7:00 and 9:00) The one and only James Dean takes on the world in Nicholas Ray's classic story of teen-age desperation. With NatalieWood. ***%/2 Bad News Bears (7:30 and 9:30) This story of a kids baseball team stars Tatum O'Neal and is occasionally fun- ny. Bring your kid sister. **/z EVENTS Jazz - Eclipse Jazz presents its final "Bright Moments Series" of the semes- ter featuring Chico Freeman on saxa- phone, and Don Moye on percussion in East Quad auditorium, Band 10:30.

Friday, December 2 MISS MARPLE NIGHT In the 60's, Agatha Christie's detective Miss Marple was transformed on the screen by Margaret Rutherford in a series of comic gems. Ruther- ford's Marple-far from the sedentary, prim, old maid of Christie- became an energetic, daring, and-ingenious adventurer-an old lady who seemed both to have done it all as a Girl Guide and to have retained her stamina and enthusiasm for doing it all over again. With her sidekick Mr. Stringer (an extremely mild-mannered sort, elated and horrified at the thought of great deeds), she stalked a host of friends like a bassett hound on benzedrine. The kind of movie the British do best-literate, highly entertaining, with superb performances. MURDER SHE SAID (George Pollock, 1962) 7 only-MLB 3 On her way home, Miss Marple sees a girl being strangled on a passing train, and in no time flat the old snoop is a "maid" at nearby Ackenthorpe Hall, loaded to the eaves with suspects. Nawsty bunch, too, which doesn't stop her from unmasking a killer. It's an Agatha Christie special, sprinkled with the whodonit queen's matchless red herrings and dominated, start to finish, by the grand comic sweep and rubber-faced sparkle of Margaret Rutherford and a frightfully apt cost.- MURDER MOST FOUL (George Pollock, 1964) 5:40 ONLY-MLB 3 A murderer lurks in a second-rate travelling actors' troupe, and an incognito Miss Marple joins the company to expose the killer's identity. Rutherford's audition, an outrageous reading of "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," is a lesson in the demanding art of high comedy. With Ron Moody, Stringer Davis. REEFER MADNESS (Leo Gasnier, 1936) 10:20 only-MLB 3 Originally titled "Tell Your Children," this anti-marijuana propaganda film seen today is a hilarious camp comedy. The weed is described as "the new drug menace which is destroying the Youth of America!" A presentation of electronic music tomorrow night in Rackha'm Auditorium at 8 p.m. will feature student compositions with simultaneous dancing (above), and one film. It's bound to be stimulating. Against All (MLB 3, 7:00 and 9:00) An absolutely superb film. Werner Herzog based this 1975 effort on the Kasper Hauser legend, in which a young man appeared in a small German town with no memory or knowledge. At once com- passionate and deeply disturbing. Every Man for Himself offers a splen- did performance by Bruno S. who as the innocent, child-like Kasper, is nothing short of brilliant. ***'9 Clair's Knee (Old A&D, 7:00 and 9:05) An oddly compelling film by Eric Roh- mer, about a suave young diplomat who becomes infatuated with a young wom- an's knee. *** ' Dirty Harry (Angell Aud A, 7:00 and 9:00) Clint Eastwood wields his metal phallus in this, the best of the Dirty Harry series. Directed by Don Siegel. **1/2 All the President's Men (Nat Sci Aud, 7:00 and 9:30) A neat romanticization of the Woodward-Bernstein saga. Hoff- man and Redford go scampering about a nicely-photographed Washington in search of THE TRUTH. Well-directed, with fine performances. All in all, one helluva good movie.* EVENTS Music Festival - University students show off their electronic music compo- sitions in Rackham Auditorium at 8 p.m. Artists, Craftsman Guild - Christ- mas art fair featuring folk art to fine art all day long in the Coliseum.

Friday, December 2 REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE Director-NICHOLAS RAY (1955) Ray's vivid portrait of teenage frustration and rebellion in the 50's is his best known film. JAMES DEAN'S sensitive performance did much to create his tragic image, which has become legend. NATALIE WOOD'S "girl-next-door" and SAL MINEO'S psychotic side-kick round out the trio. Insightful and thought provoking, this film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.
