The Michiqan Daily - Saturday, August 13, 1983- Paae 9

The Maltese Falcon
(John Huston, 1941)
A classic film that gets better with
each viewing. Huston's crisp, succinct
direction is the perfect counterpoint to
Dashiell Hammett's mystery, while
the cast is pure magnificence. Hum-
phrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sidney
Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre give
their all in the search for the black
bird. (Saturday, August 13; Lorch
Hall, 9:45).

movie as was ever made.
Eraserhead's twisted imagery both
demands and defies explanation.
You'll need at least three viewings
before the plot begins to make any
sense whatsoever. (Saturday, August
13; Michigan Theatre, 7:00,10:10).
The Adventures of Robin
Hood
(Michael Curtiz, William Keighley,
1938)
The legendary Robin Hood lives again
in the swashbuckling spirit of Errol
Flynn. Will the evil Basil Rathbone
skewer Robin? Will Claude Rains be
crowned king? Will Olivia de
Havilland fall for Flynn? Lots of great
swordfighting and a good musical
score. (Saturday, August 13;
Auditorium A, 6:00,9:50).

The Seven Samurai
(Akira Kurosawa, 1945)
Japan not only makes better cars than
the U.S., they make better Westerns
as well. Seven Samurai is long (over
three hours), expansive in scope, im-
peccably directed, and one of the few
films that deserves to be called an
epic. (Saturday, August 20; Lorch
Hall, 8:00).
The Graduate
(Mike Nichols, 1967)
For all you summer graduates, a
sneak preview of what lies ahead.
Dustin Hoffman portrays a college
graduate with no plans, who suddenly
has an affair with a friend of the
family, Anne Bancroft, and her
daughter, Katherine Ross. But just

when the summer gets interesting,
Hoffman and Ross must decide exac-
tly what they want out of life. (Satur-
day, August 21; Michigan Theatre,
7:00, 11:00).
Breaking Away
(Peter Yates, 1979)
Another film about the decisions to be
made after graduation. Delicately
written by Stephen Tesich, Breaking
Away tells of four friends, recently
graduated from high school, waiting
for something to happen in the small
college town of Bloomington, Indiana.
Rivalries with the college students,
love affairs, and an exhilirating
bicycle race all tend to break up the
monotony of life outside of school.
(Thursday, August 25; Michigan
Theatre, 7:10, 10:45).
