The Blues Brothers (John Landis, 1980) After the enormous success of Animal House, Landis got the choice assignment of directing the Blues Brothers in their one and only movie. The result is less than suc- cessful. At times dull, at times trite, and often times both, the film lacks any real rhythm. James Brown, Ray Charles, and Cab Calloway all pitch in to help but it never comes together to form the quintessential blues movie. Plenty of car crashes, though; The Blue Brothers show a complete disregard for American automobiles. (Saturday, August 7; Lorch Hall, 7:00, 9:30).

One launched her career. The other may have cost the star her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. She posed for the first when she was a broke, aspiring actress. It was a nude for a calendar. Jet Fore, a publicist at 20th Century- Fox in 1946 when Marilyn Monroe was placed under contract at $125 a week, recalls the reaction when his boss lear- ned of her naked past. "THIS WILL ruin the studio!" the man cried. "We've got three of her pic- tures in the can." Fore says it was a shock, "because in those days no famous actress had ex- posed her breasts." Tom Kelly, the photographer, says he spent 10 years trying to live down the picture "because I didn't want to be known as a nudie photographer." Revelation of the calendar in 1952 helped make Marilyn the hottest star in movies. Despite the publicity chief's initial shock and dire prediction, the public responded sympathetically when she explained why she had posed. AMERICAN males responded with enthusiasm, and the Playboy centerfold of the calendar made Marilyn the pinup. of the Korean War. "Marilyn came along at just the right time; the brink of the sexual revolution," said Fore.
