FRIDAY

LITTLE VERA (Vasily Pichul,
1988) Mich. 8:00, 10:00, & 12:00
The winner of the best film and
actress award at the Chicago film
festival, Natalya Negoda stars in
this portrait of the underside of So-
viet life where sex, drugs, and rock
and roll are a common sight within
the Russian urban slums.
THE GANG'S ALL HERE
(Busby Berkeley, 1943) MLB 3
7:00
Splashy, overdone war musical
is fun, but not much deeper. A few
rollicking numbers like "The Lady
in the Tutti Fruitti Hat" keep this
one mildly interesting including the
only singing performance ever by
Benny Goodman. Starring Alice
Faye and Carmen Miranda.
FOLLOW THE FLEET (Mark
Sandrich, 1936) MLB 3 9:00
Timeless and still the ultimate
in musical entertainment, the great

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers star
in one of their trademark films. As-
taire and Randolph Scott star as two
sailors who fall for two sisters.
Both quaint and grandiose, the film
features a great Irving Berlin score.
Look for Lucille Ball in a bit part.
THE CAT FROM OUTER
SPACE (Norman Tokar, 1978) Aud
A 7:00
Remember this one? Disney's
live action children's adventure tells
the story of an intergalactic-travel-
ling feline who seeks help from
American scientists so that he can
return to the stars. Of course,
things go wrong and some kids get
involved, and the result is a wild
time - sounds like E.T., huh?
THE SHAGGY DOG (Charles
Barton, 1959) Aud A 9:15
A Disney Double feature! What
could be better? Oft-colorized
slapstick comedy about boy who is
transformed into the fun-loving
mutt via ancient oracles is enter-

taining, but it doesn't touch The
Shaggy D.A.! Starring My Three
Sons Fred MacMurray.
SANSHO THE BAILIFF
(Kenji Mizoguchi, 1953) Lorch
7:00
Travel back to 11th Century
Japan for a grim tale of a family
who is ruined when the father
speaks out for human rights. Other
atrocities await the family as Mi-
zoguchi takes a critical look at an
oppressive imperialistic Japanese
government.
SATURDAY
LITTLE VERA (Vasily Pichul,
1988) Mich. Th. 5:30 & 11:00
See Friday's listing
THE DYBBUK (Michael Was-
zynski, 1937) Mich Th. 8:00
Long-awaited midwest premiere
of an old, recently restored film,
only now available in its original
form for the first time. A Yiddish
horror film with touches of surreal-

ism and unusual romance. Certainly
a film to cause a lot of talk. In Yid-
dish with English subtitles. See
Review, Page 4.
TORCH SONG TRILOGY (Paul
Bogart, 1988) Hillel 7:00 & 9:30
A controversial Tony-award film
about homosexuality and gender
roles comes to film. A sensitive
and humorous look at these issues
through the eyes of a female imper-
sonator looking for romantic ful-
fillment.
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF
CHRIST (Martin Scorcese, 1988)
MLB 3 6:30 & 9:00
Scorcese does his directorial imi-
tation of Cecil B. DeMille in the
most overrated, talked about cine-
matic endeavor since Heaven's
Gate. What's the fuss? You either
love it or you hate it. Willem
Dafoe plays Jesus as he is torn be-
tween his lust for Mary Magdeline
and his devotion to God. Radical in-
terpretation of the patriarch of
Christianity and a bit hard to swal-
low, too. Runs just shy of three

hours.
THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER
(Jacques Doillon, 1981) Lorch
7:00, 8:45, & 10:25
Ann Arbor premier of French
film about young woman disillu-
sioned about her father when she
discovers he has taken a lover.
Highly emotional and powerful
most of the way through. Starring
Jane Birkin and Michel Piccoli.
SUNDAY
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF
CHRIST (Martin Scorcese, 1988)
MLB 3 6:30 & 9:00
See Saturday's listing
THE DYBBUK (Michael Wys-
zynski, 1937) Michigan Th. 3:00
& 5:30
See Saturday's listing.
