Maybe its impossible to steal a scene from an airplane thats about to fly into pieces any second, but in this movie nobody even seems to try. Its too bad, the movie could have been a lot better. kk Fantomas" High Camp Spy Spoof. Thats kkkk Excellent about the only way they could sell this thing Unfortunately spy spoofs have been beat to death and theyre about as low camp as existentialism This movie may hold the all time record for automobile destruction, insurance agents are warned away. kick Good "Nevada Smith'1 kk Fair Nevada Smith, a cinema first a sequel that is actually a predecessor. There was plenty of good coin in The Carpetbaggers; but instead of Return to Carpetbaggers we are treated to the life and hard times of Nevada Smith, the character who acted as guardian to Jonas Cord Jr. This one is better, but not much. The mam problem is excruciating length (it takes a good half hour for Brian Keith to take Steve McQueen in and teach him how to shoot a gun). Karl Malden, Martin Landau and Arthur Kennedy are the heavies and they are plenty evil indeed. McQueen spends the movie getting even, the audience is left to its own devices. : of the Bulge "as an excellent opportunity to reconstruct one of World War Its most terrifying battlefield It loses much in the engagements. reconstruction. kkk Born Free" Born Free is no doubt the most honest animal picture ever made. Unlike the usual movies in this genre there is no sensationalism, no Ring-linBrothers type foolishness and no needless paddling. Its a good movie and Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna are remarkably good as the family who adopts the lions. Some people, myself included, are not much interested in this sort of picture, but you can't help admiring it for what it is. A Poor The Glass Bottom Boat" k Rock and Doris has now become Rod and Doris, but don't worry, you won't be able to tell the difference Rod Taylor is a scientific genius and has a very expensive looking apartment. Doris Day is Doris Day, except this time she's widowed (everything to gam and nothmgtoose). The title comes piloted by none otjjerthan Arthu Godfrey who fiffrboat perfectly. k "Arabesque Surprisingly enough, this is a pretty dull movie. Gregory Peck is a scholar who is dragged into the dangerous world of counter-espionagand danger lurks everywhere. He looks very uneasy at the prospect. probably because he realizes the movie just isn't working out. This is a very sad successor to Charade, mainly because the script is e just plain bad. In some scenes Sophia Loren wears Dior dresses, in one scene she didn't wear nothin. kkk "The Battle of the Bulge" kk The Battle of the Bulge is a spectacular super Cinerama movie full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Warner Brothers (who seem to have obtained exclusive film rights on World War II) have used the Cinerama screen and process with a vengeance, completely forgetting that there are actually people involved. Jack Warner saw The Battle "The Sound of Music kkkk The movie is a little overlong but it's a touching good story and the music is a joy. The cinematogra phy is excellent, the aerial photograThe story, based on phy fantastic actual events in the lives of Baron von Trapp, his children and his wife Maria, is delightful and quite excit ing The Sound of Music is a family in the true sense of the word, a movie well worth seeing.
