Show at the FIRMAGE THEATRE Sun.-Mon.. Nov. 11-12 "WALK THE PROUD LAND" "Walk the Proud Land" is a Technicolor Cinemascope western west-ern starring Audy Murphy, Ann Bancroft and Pat Crowley. In this picture Murphy draws the tough assignment of soliciting the good will and cooperation of Indian tribes who have known only the mailed-fist rule of the army. As the new Indian In-dian agent from the east, Audy faces many perplexing problems, prob-lems, not the least o'f which is romance. Tues -Wed.-Thurs.. Nov. 13-15 "ALEXANDER THE GREAT" For tho-e who find history a dull, dry subject, "Alexander the Great" is tailor-made and recommended. Filmed in Cinemascope Cine-mascope and highly effective Technicolor, it is the authentic life of the military genius, Alexander Alex-ander the Great, his baffles and his conquests. The scenes were filmd in Spain, and for splendor t and effect, a more fitting locale would be difficult to imagine. Richard Burton is excellent in the title role and is one of the few in the star-studded cast who manages to stand out amid the scenes of magnificence. The picture is long, 114 minutes, but action and color speed the show to what seems to be a much shorter duration. "Alexander "Alex-ander the Great" is good view- I ing for general audiences Fri-Sai.. Nov. 16-17 "COMANCHE" Dana Andrews competently plays the lead in a Western involving Mexicans, Indians, and whites. A new, and likewise like-wise competent star, Ljnda Cristal, is the love interest, and Nestor Paiva, as Dana's right- hand man, furnishes some interesting inter-esting comedy. "Comanche" was written and produced by Carl Krueger. The picture was directed by George Sherman and filmed in Mexico, where the best scenery Mexico has to offer was focused in the Deluxe Color cameras. Scalps are taken, tak-en, all the bad men are killed, and the good chief lives to see all in accord at the finish. |
