Show theatre down there that shows excellent films. It seems to be an experiment to encourage more film attendance. at-tendance. Check the papers for what is offered. Also, the Salt Lake Library offers free films Friday at 2 and 7 p.m. However, we were turned away last week with the suggestion that we begin the great wait at 4 p.m. to see the film, if we wanted to get in. But, if you are a die hard film freak with Friday afternoons to kill, you might be interested to know that this week's film is Alfred Al-fred Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES, made in 1938, and starring Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, and Margaret Lockwood. The film involves a man and woman entering the world of international spy rings to solve the mystery of a missing train, made even more exciting by the adroit directing of that grand master mas-ter of suspense. f j Winding up the month at ' the Opera House, we have ! THE STING featured once j again. -Briefly, this Academy i Award winner features our ! old favorite team, Robert j Redford and Paul Newman i pulling off one of the big gest, more involved stings ever. ! Excellent portrayals are put in by all the cast, most notably Robert Shaw as the ! "mark". j Redford proves that he has i more than a pretty face and ! creates one of the finest ! roles he has played, steal- j ing the show from Newman, j It is enjoyable entertain- i ment, although a bit worn, j as locals no doubt flocked to see it the last time it I 'was around this summer. (For more on the film, consult back issues of the Park Record, as it has been j reviewed twice before.) j In Heber, we have THE j THREE MUSKETEERS re turning for still another area engagement. At first I had hoped it was the sequel, but no, we are offered another chance to view this zany look i at those romantic figures. I i cannot speak highly enough of i this film. The stars allprove ! their individual talent, but ! what else can one expect of , the likes of Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, and Michael York? Richard Lester Les-ter proves once again that he is an effective director in comedy, quick with visual wit ! and artistry, i At the University of Utah we have a weekend that should be a joy to Joanne Woodward fans. In the Union Little Theatre wehaveSUM-MER wehaveSUM-MER WISHES, WINTER DREAMS, the film that garnered gar-nered Joanne Woodward an Academy Award nomination. Ms. Woodward once again proves herself to be a sen-j sen-j sitive actress in this study of a middle aged marriage and the resultant ennui. To offset this portrayal we have THE EFFECTS OF GAMMA RAYS ON MAN IN THE MOON MARIGOLDS offered of-fered in OHS Auditorium. This film stars Joanne Woodward as the mother in this successful play filmed j by none other than Paul New man, Ms. Woodward's spouse. Newman has been proving himself at ease as a director direc-tor as well as a sex symbol, and it is gratifying to view his work with his talented wife. GAMMA RAYS derives its name from an experiment the frustrated daughter is completing for asciencefair in this study of an all female family situation. It is not light viewing. (No pun intended.) in-tended.) Show times at both theatres is 7 and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Admission is $1.00-Salt $1.00-Salt Lake City offers a variety of interesting films. Trolley Theatre offers THE MAD ADVENTURE OF "RABBI" JACOB, a film that has not received much notice in the area, but one that I have heard has kept people standing in line in Paris. Also at Tolley is Art Carney's Car-ney's new film, HARRY AND TONTO, the story of an elderly el-derly man's adventures when he takes off, hitching around the country accompanied by his cat. It has been met with mixed reviews, but should prove interesting. At the Cottonwood Mall is Walt Disney's . ultimate experience, FANTASIA. This animated feature bombed bomb-ed when it was released in the early 1940's, and did not achieve acclaim until the 1960's when love-children and drug freaks warmly adopted it as the official Walt Disney trip. The color is superb, the animation excellent, and the soundtrack a rarity. The original intent of the film was to acquaint children with the great tradition of classical classi-cal music through animation. Disney and his animators worked up little stories and images to accompany the classics. The total effect is one of a totally visual and aural experience that entices the viewer. Never again can I hear the masterpieces used without conjuring up Disney's Dis-ney's apt images. Take the kids, sure, but this is one you will enjoy yourself. A note of interest, for those of you who have not been made aware of what is happening with films in Salt Lake City. There is a 50? |
