Seven ex-radicals (the highlight high-light of their careers was being arrested in Secaucus, N.J. on a traffic violation) gather for a weekend reunion. re-union. They reminisce, mourn, cook hamburgers, skinny-dip, engage in brief affairs, and wind up in jail yet again, falsely accused of killing a deer. ("Bambi-cide," ("Bambi-cide," one calls it.) "Seven" is committed to showing the reunion as a cherished, but not earth-shaking, earth-shaking, ritual in the friends' lives no more important than the party a year before or the one to follow. The characters face no turning points in their lives, or breast-beating moments of self-revelations. The moments mo-ments of humor or concern in the picture are not contrived, but observed: the guitar-strummer of the group plays his '60s ballads with the slight embarass-ment embarass-ment of being welcome, but outdated; one girl's straight boyfriend, a nervous intruder, in-truder, turns out to be the only one who still packs any marijuana; and a family man who's a friend of the group (well-played by writer John Sayles) talks with a stunned awe about his children. child-ren. "Seven" is chock-full of these subtle, warm vignettes. For Your Eyes Only The latest James Bond vehicle is equipped, naturally, natural-ly, with all sorts of hair-raising hair-raising action, but the amount of credit one can give for good second-unit work in the 007 pictures is appraoching an area of diminishing returns. Roger Moore, unflappable as always, al-ways, is racing the Russians to retrieve a missile-launching system from a sunken spy ship in the Mediterranean. Mediter-ranean. He is aided by the beautiful Carol Bouquet, who wields a mean crossbow, and hampered ham-pered by Lynn-Holly Johnson, John-son, as an Olympic skater who's more interested in indoor sports. He also enters into an unexciting battle of wits with a villainous Greek entrepreneur played by Julian Ju-lian Glover.

That's the prospect for the month of July, as the Utah Media Center presents a Gene Kelly Festival and an Alfred Hitchcock retrospective retrospec-tive in Salt Lake over the next three weekends. The programs will include everything every-thing from "An American in Paris" to "Psycho." The dougle-barreled attraction, at-traction, presented at the Salt Lake Art Center, works like this.

Unfortunately, a separate charge is levied for each feature ($2 for adults, $1.50 for members of the Utah Cinema Council, Wasatch Film Front, or Art Center, and $1 for kids.). The maximum price you'd pay is $4 (the average price in large theaters currently) and for that you're almost always guaranteed an excellent excel-lent double feature. The next Kelly film is "An American in Paris" (shown on July 11, 12), which won Best Picture of 1951. It co-stars Leslie Caron, and features the famous climactic climac-tic ballet accompanied by Gershwin and conceived by director Vincente Minnelli. Kelly and Frank Sinatra play sailors on leave in New York in "On the Town (July 18, 19), a 1949 musical which took the (then) unusual step of filming on location. Vera-Ellen Vera-Ellen and Ann Miller played their girls. The Kelly series ends with a picture many critics call the best musical ever made. "Singin' in the Rain" (July 25, 26), stars Kelly as a silent-movie leading man making the transition to the talkies; Donald O'Connor is his buddy; and Debbie Reynolds is the young singer who hits the big time dubbing the singing voice of Kelly's co-star (Jean Hagen) who has the face of an angel but the voice of a toucan. The Hitchcock film for July 11 and 12 is "Notori- Art Guild auction coming to KAC ous," a darkly ironic spy story of passion feeding intrigue and murder. Ingrid Bergman, as a socialite in love with a U.S. agent (Cary Grant), agrees to help him by marrying the Nazi who loves her (Claude Rains) and infiltrating his South American Ameri-can spy ring. "Strangers on a Train" (July 18, 19) is about two train passengers, Guy and Bruno, who pass the time by suggesting they should "trade murders." Bruno would kill Guy's wife, while Guy would eliminate Bruno's mother. What Guy doesn't realize is that Bruno is serious. Robert Walker played the effeminate, menacing men-acing killer, in an abrupt switch from his gangling, all-American-boy image of the '40s. (As a comparison, imagine Ron Howard playing play-ing Richard Speck. ) Finally, what Hitch festival festi-val could be complete without with-out "Psycho" (July 25, 26) the picture that gave Anthony Perkins a permanent perman-ent twitch, sent millions out of showers into bathtubs, and revealed the moral flexibility flexibili-ty of the audience, as it deftly directed our sympathies sympath-ies from victim to psycho to frightened heroine. The films are shown at the Little Theatre of the Art Center, located at 20 S. West Temple. The Media Center has year-long programs of "dual festivals" at the center. In August they will sponsor a "Best and Worst Film" program. More about that later. World renowned auctioneer auction-eer Don Kennedy will return to Park City for the third consecutive year when the Kimball Art Guild presents its annual auction July 24. The event, held a week prior to the Park City Arts Festival, will include work done by a number of this year's festival artists. In addition, some work by internationally-known artists art-ists will be up for auction. Items to be auctioned may be previewed in the Art Center's main gallery beginning begin-ning July 19. The auction is a major fund raising event for the Kimball Art Center. Guild members volunteer hundreds hun-dreds of hours to ensure the program's success. Jana Cole, president of the Guild, has begun to orgaiuze volunteers volun-teers for the program. Guild members Sydney Reed, Nancy Witt, Ve Dawson, Gloria Johnson, Holly Rom, Connie Marolt, Jan Dalton, Diane Doilney, Nancy Nip-kow, Nip-kow, Val Chin, Mary Frank Verrone, Maureen Traeger, Rene Daines, Carol Calder, Deanna Carpenter, Toni Doilney, Lisa Warr, Julie Manwaring, Cindy Huseth and Judy Kimball have all begun working on the auction. A light dinner buffet preceding pre-ceding the auction will be held at 6 :30 p.m. The cost for the evening is $20 per person. Since seating capacity is limited, it is suggested that reservations be made well in advance. For information, call 649- The Classifieds could be your ticket to the movies about whether Glover, or Israeli actor Topol is the film's heavy, but the movie makes it idiotically easy to pick the bad guy it's like choosing between Vincent Price and Roy Rogers. And the trailer for the film gives the game away in any event.) The picture is all stunt work with a dash of humor-picture humor-picture Bond schussing on skis down an outdoor cafeteria cafe-teria table loaded with lager and hot dogs. He also out-races the villains on a narrow mountain road, fends off an attack by killer sharks, and beats up a team of hockey assassins. Bond is due for, if not retirement, at least a gold medal in the decathlon. There is also an end gag with Prime Minister Thatcher and her hubby that is reasonably amusing for us Yanks and must be an absolute scream for British audiences. Musical workshops begin next week Park City Performances is sponsoring a six-week musical musi-cal theater workshop at the Silver Wheel Theatre. The training will utilize musical numbers from productions scheduled for their 1981-82 season. The first session is scheduled for this Monday the 13th. The program is actually two classes working with each other. Gary Cole (Lancelot from last December's Decem-ber's "Camelot") will teach vocalization. And former professional dancer Elizabeth Eliza-beth Nesi-Smith will work with applicants on dance and movement. Director Don Gomes said the latter would be an important part of the learning experience. "Most of us can act with guidance, and we've all been coaxed into singing at one time or another," he said. "The biggest lack is dancing." danc-ing." The program will feature one session each Monday, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and will cost $25. It is open to high-school ages or older. Younger applicants should consult with Gomes, Cole, or Nesi-Smith. The teaching will use scenes from the '81-'82 musicals musi-cals "My Fair Lady," "Ca-beret," "Ca-beret," and "Godspell." If you're interested in auditioning audition-ing for these productions, Gomes said, the summer training couldn't hurt. "But it is not a requisite."
