Well known stars read letters written by soldiers involved in the police action as actual news footage is shown. CASABLANCA (Michael Cur- tiz, 1943) Michigan Theater 8:45 Play it, Sam. And playsit again. This film deserves to be shown as often as it is, but must be seen on the big screen. Bogart and Bergman epitomize true love. Time goes by, but Casablanca lasts forever. PLAY IT AGAIN SAM (Herbert Ross, 1972) Michigan Theater 10:40 Woody Allen is a film buff who wants to live in Bogart's world and is taking lessons from the master himself. Wonderful recreations of scenes from Casablanca, and a bunch of laughs too.

You are a peeping-tom.

LATE AUTUMN (Yasujiro Ozu, 1960) Nat Sci 7:00 & 9:30 One of Ozu's main themes has always been the breakdown of traditional family values. This time a mother must encourage her reluc- tant daughter to marry. - SATURDAY THE EMERALD FOREST (John Boorman, 1985) 1429 Hill St. 7:15 Powers Booth is an American who is working in the Amazon Jungle when his son is kidnapped. Ten years later he returns to find his lost child. Lush photography high- light this film. AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD (Werner Herzog, 1973) 1429 Hill St. 9:15 Director Herzog and his favorite actor Klaus Kinski fight like wild- men off the set, but what shows up on the screen seems to be a collaboration between men who think exactly alike. Maybe that's the problem. Kinski plays a con- quistador who will stop at nothing to find El Dorado, the lost city of gold, although he may lose his mind first.
