Show movne co btd mm eorfcsi iry Ten Little Indians" A RIALTO ing. Duel at Daiblo" kkkk Excellent LYRIC kirk Duel at Diablo was made in Utah, it had its world premiere in Utah and a lot of Utahns made a lot of money out of it. The least we can do is go see it, no matter how bad it is. The movie is an action packed shoot em up k Poor The Birds and Marnie t The Birds is probably Alfred Hitchcocks worst movie. If it wasnt for The Birds the honor would be held by Marnie. Together they make for a pretty disappointing night at the movies, if you like Hitchcock. None of Hitchcocks clever touches can be in found in either one fact Marnie looks like it could have been made by Otto Preminger. But stay, they're still worth seeing. Hitchcock flat on his face is still something to see. . . AND HIGHLAND Shot in the Dark" kkk Cat Ballou" GEM Philosophic controversy has raged long and hard over which is better Pink Panther or Shot in the Dark. The general consensus winner is Pink Panther. (My pick is (Shot in the Dark,''but that is all academic as feel neither comes close to Two Way Stretch or Wrong Arm of the Law, the two Sellers movies made immediately before these two.) Both are loaded with slapstick and laughs abound. If you havent seen them, be sure to give a look. Some people rate them as the greatest comedy hits of all time. I Cat Ballou has a lot of fun making fun of westerns. Its a movie that consists of gag lines . the time between spent setting up the next one. The gags, fortunately, are magnificent . . . Lee Marvins staggering drunk into a funeral, shouting happy birth. . - and proceeding to blow out the candles, ranks as one of kkkk The Pink Panther and horse opera in the grand tradition of action packed shoot 'em up horse operas. Maybe too much in the tradition, but then whattahell? Utah, Sidney Portier, James Garner and Bibi Andersson star in that order. day, Blue" A Patch of Blue is a message picture and a valuable one. It deals with human relations as well as any American film has to this time and it manages to do it with a love story of considerable charm and entertainment. You can't help leaving A Patch of Blue feeling better for having seen it. The story is of a blind white girl and her growing love for a Negro she accidentally meets. She also has a pretty bad home life, in fact the situation there is so bad that it sometimes tends to get in the way of the basic situation. Anybody would look good in comparison to what she has. Its an excellent movie however, honest and extremely moving. ln Fair of TOWNE Agatha Christie is getting her share of exposure as Little Indians follows hard on the heels of The Alphabet Murders. Ten Little Indians is played straight and that makes it a better film. (The 60 seconds to guess the name of the murder could have ben easily spared, however.) Hugh O'Brien and Shirley Eaton both give good Its a good performances. mystery story and worth see- Good Patch the funniest scenes movie history in , |
