CRIMSON WEEKLY CALENDAR

CAMBRIDGE

BRATTLE: The Bogey festival continues apace. The Maltese Falcon, the current offering, is one of the very best of all. Dashiell Hammett's story has become the vehicle for Bogart's now immortal Sam Spade and Sidney Green-street's now equally immortal Fat Man. Ward Bond and Alicia Cook (and, of course, Peter Lorre). Evenings at 5:30, 7:30, 9:30.

Starts Sunday: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, a lesser known and some-what less worthwhile movie, features Huston fils, and was directed by Huston pere. Evenings at 5:15, 7:30, 9:45; Sunday matinee at 3.

Starts Wednesday: Casablanca, that film of films. Two generations it is now that have sat in wonder before the continuously magnificent performance of Bogey, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains. The plot is insignificant; Peter Lorre is dead before the plot truly gets underway--but, mes chers, when, defying the Nazis, the entire cast bursts spontaneously and glorously into the Marseillaise, how marvellous it all is. That, gentlemen, is great movie-making. Evenings at 5:30, 7:30, 9:30. TR 6-4226.

LOEB DRAMA CENTER: More from the First Boston International Film Festival. At 5 p.m., the German film, The Blazing Sand, with Raphel Nussbaum. At 7, Mexico's Macario, starring Roberto Galvadon. And at 9:30, the Grecian This Side of the River, featuring Nikos Koundouros. On Saturday, the Festival offers (by invitation only) the esteemed British film. The Angry Silence, with Guy Green and Richard Attenborough. This at 5:30 p.m. Later, at 7 (no invitation needed) the Pakistani movie. The Day Shall Dawn, starring Aaejay Kardar. And, at 9:30. Robert Bresson's The Pickpocket. Tickets at the Festival Office (129 Mt. Auburn Street) or at the Loeb.

UNIVERSITY: Sinclair Lewis plus Hollywood now equals two Academy Awards. Elmer Gantry is the movie: and if it's more Eastman Color than scandolous revivalism, why no one cares overmuch. For, in truth, Elmer proves to be a very entertaining and lavishly constructed film. Burt Lancaster (who copped one of those towards) is a share hypocrite indeed at Sect Leader; and Jean Simmons and Shirley Jones (the other Award reciplent) are admirable as his womenfolk. Daily at 1:30, 4:45, 8:30.

Starts Sunday: A double-barreled comedy bill, one shot of which misfires disastrously. The hit--and it's an Ole Bullseye--is Bob Hope's and Lucille Ball's quite wondorously funny The Facts of Life. The gentleman and lady named are prey to wanderlust; but their exploits are infinitely more humorous than amorous. As for the dud shot, Ask Any Girl, well, it ought to be pretty good. Shirley MacLaine and David Niven are attractive and agreeable people, but the script of this CinemaScopic, Metrocolored drivel reduces the pair to mere boobish blather. Various shorts and a Sylvester cartoon are thrown in free.

Starts Wednesday: Laurence Olivier (the Albert Finney of his generation) in John Osborne's The Entertainer. As happens all too often, the translation from stage to screen has not been an altogether felicitous one. But still, in all, one of last year's ten best; a courageous, honest, and well-performed document it is. Co-featured is an unknown quantity--a Novel "witty film package" (the words are the UT's). Tonight at 8:30. With Valerie Hobson and ever-amusing Stanley Holloway. UN 4-4580.

BOSTON

ASTOR: Marlon Brando's One-Eyed Jacks. Evenings at 7:20, 9:30. LI 2-5030.

CAPRI: Breathless, at 6, 8, 10. CO 7-9030.

EXETER: The first ten minutes of Make Mire Mink are sickeningly dismal, as only British farce can be sickeningly dismal; but the remaining 80 minutes, happy to tell, are sheer joy. Terry-Thomas leads a crew of balmy boarding-house occupants on a series of impossible fur robberies. Proceeds, naturally, go to various local orphanages. Evenings at 8.45. KE 6-7067.

GARY: At last, La Dolce Vita has come to Boston. Perhaps the best film to come from post-war Italy (L'Avventura and Miracle in Milan notwithstanding), Doice--to give it the probable trade abbreviation--is an angry and moving indictment of the continent's rotting cafe society. Stark and beautiful, this is no movie to be missed. Evenings at 8:30. LI 2-7040.

KENMORE: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, based on Alan Sillitoe's savage novel, is the best from Britain since The Angry Silence and Room at the Top. A fascinating exploration of the values of the welfare state's own working class. Albert Finney, the Olivier of his generation for some, gives a near-superb performance as the embattled young Lancashire protagonist. Evenings at 7:20, 9:30.

ORPHEUM: Gone With the Wind is back; and Clark Gable's and Vivien Leigh's mighty saga of the Ole South is now to be seen at popular prices. A Civil War Centennial-Scarlett O'Hara extravaganza spectacular. Evenings at 8:15. LI 2-3491
