WEEKLY CALENDAR

CAMBRIDGE

BRATTLE: One of the finest films to emerge from postwar Poland, ASHES AND DIAOMNDS is beautifully put-together story of a disillusioned resistance fighter near the end of the Second World has been acclaimed by nearly everyone, including the Crimson Evenings at 5:30, 7:30, 9:30 October 14. It is followed by Vitorrio deSica's latest triumph of acting and direction, GENERAL DELLA ROVERE.

UNIVERSITY: Joshua Logan, who a lot of money from a good musical based on a novel by Marcel Pagnol, has tried to do the same thing in Hollywood and has failed--at least, aesthetically. FANNY is genuine four handkerchief family-style mediocre entertainment- starring everyone that should appear in a Hollywood musical about foreigners: Leslie Caron, Charles Boyer, Horst Bucholz and Maurice Chevalier. Afternoons and evenings at 2:25, 5:40, and 9:30.

Starts Wednesday: The picture that Ustinov wrote, directed and acted in, ROMANOFF AND JULIET. Peter Ustinov is a talented and funny man, but his movie shows no sign of it. SCREAM OF FEAR, another pseudo-"Psycho" flick, is the co-feature. UN 4-4580.

BEACON HILL: An affair be between a townie and a stripper is the improbable subject of A COLD WIND IN AUGUST, which stars Lola Albright, more commonly seen as Peter Gunn's girlfriend. Scott Marlowe is the ingenious boy, and Herschel Bernardi (also of Peter Gunn fame) is in there too, not that it makes any difference. Save our money. Evenings at 8:05, 9:55.

CAPRI DOLCE VITA: Fredrico Fellini's sweeping panorama of Roman decadence takes three hours to sit through, most of it well worth the time. Acting is top notch, and the camerawork is absoluetly incomparable. Sometimes confused, it is nevertheless a powerful and important film. Evenings at 8:15.

EXETER: A crime picture which is sometimes spoiled by psychological pre- tensions, PLEIN SOLEIL (Purple Noon) is still the best French supense flicker in some time. It moves quickly through the story of an attempted perfect crime. Spectacular color shots of the Adriatic and Marie de la Foret. Evenings at 8:40.

GARY: One of the most unbelievable -- and entertaining -- war pictures in some time, THE GUNS OF NAVARONE follows closely the best-selling novel of Alistair MacLean to tell the story of a band of saboteurs sent to destroy an emplacement of enemy guns on the Greek island of Navarone. The principals include Gregory Peck, David Niven, and Anthony Quinn.

KENMORE: Sophia Loren turns in the best (and only) acting performance of her career in TWO WOMEN, the story of the physical and psychological hardships encountered by a mother and daughter during the Italian Campaign of World War II. More harsh than "The Virgin Spring." Evenings at 8:10, 10:10.
