Mr. Zinneman also directed "From Here to Senior Editorial Eternity," "Oklahoma," and "The Member of the Wedding." Do you get the same feeling I do about his movies; i.e. they are very good but The words of welcome our new students heard a few weeks ago, not greats. Something is lacking - maybe it's a certain tingle you get forgotten now, have gone to the great down your spine during scenes from other movies. I don't love good--graveyard-in-the-sky, welcoming words subdivision and Zinneman movies but they are damn good. Edward Fox gives me the are even now preparing a suitable welcome for this also. However, the impression he will never get another role of this magnitude. What ever thought that to be forgotten, words must first be heard or read, sustains happened to his brother - James Fox ("Magnificent Men and Their the effort to .present them.

Your dreams will be destroyed here, not made. No cash in on a previous success, and it usually flops like a lead tit. matter if your role is a member of the health services team, you will see "Summer of 42" was, in my opinion, the best nostalgia piece to date. incompetance, waste, arrogance, selfishness and nonsense beyond Now we follow the adventures of Benjy and Oscie as they go off to imagination. You will see sickness, suffering, death and grief over and college. What emerges is reminiscent of all the previous movies about over. You will see those in training for the highest responsibility life as we thought it was yesterday; (connotation of nostalgia) - diminish themselves through cynicism, disappointment and greed. Your faithful in detail but entirely lacking in love.

Bertolucci (the Director) is recognized as an international giant as you live through it, you will learn the basics required to allow you to although I am not familiar with his work. His artistry is evident with gain experience and competence within your chosen field. Don't judge long, sweeping shots beautifully interwoven with a class sound track. the training you receive here how closely it mold'> you to your dream of Other than this it's a lack of story-line and a trite climax (guess who what you might or even should be. Rather, judge it on the good you are dies again?). It's as though the endings of all Branda's movies must able to do once you leave here. show him writhing in death-throes. Nordhoff and Hall are still spinning in their graves after witnessing the end of "Mutiny on the Bounty". Don't take me wrong, Branda's acting pre and post "Godfather" is always hypnotic. Plenty of skin and fur here but it is all Branda's girlfriend. Bran do doesn't have the decency to lay down or take off his clothes in most of the coupling scenes. In fact, the canine position he assumes in one part may let the viewer fully realize that he is out $4.00 and has gotten it in the rear.

It doesn't go well in this bland remake of the 1937 Masterpiece. As usual Sally Kellerman looks perpetually em barressed (this time it's because she's in a bad flic). Ross Hunter has come up with a musical "". His movies are big budget nothings that appear to be directed by a smart 5th grader. Bobby Van (I despised him until this movie) turns out Cells Are People Too to be the only loveable character with whom you can identify. I think! turned old waiting for this elephant to end. By STEVE ElLEN 3 Stars - Marjoe - Best full length documentary last year's . Could have used more original footage of this child - evangelist's early days and less of the current clips showing us how agnostic he has become. It seems he. overdoes his point of proving he is indifferent now to drugs, greed and miscegnation. Otherwise, you can't beat the hand clapping, soul scathing, bible thumping preaching and singing sessions, thank yew- Jesus.

3 Stars - Walking Tall - See Sheriff Pusser beat the doo-dooout of the badies in this hell-raising eye for eye action movie. What it lacks in technique and orthopedic know-how (did you see that arm-body combo on one of the gangsters?) it makes up for in spleen-venting action. This movie seems to reflect a current trend of making semi-documentaries out of real life semi-heroes (French Connection, etc.). Keep up the good work. 1 Star - Man of La Mancha - Take a musical with only 2 decent songs in it; film it on the brown and white plains of Spain and direct it by Arthur Hiller who brought us such greats as "The Wheeler Dealers" and "The Americanization of Emily"; and what do you have? A 2-songed brown and white floperoo. I thought James Coco did a lot better in "Such Good Friends" during the scene with Dyan Cannon. Sophia Loren never looked as sluttish. Surprisingly, the only thing of interest in this flic is Peter O'Toole's unusual Don Quixote. For the first time he is not cast as some starry-eyed hero who must take the sins of the world on his soul. Maybe its just that hoaky beard .... I don't know. The makers of this dog were dreaming the impossiblt< making this into a movie.

2 Stars - Live & Let Die - Possibly the worst of the nine Bond movies except Casino Royale which at least fessed up to being a spoof. · McCartney's title song, which has been to the top of the charts already, is about the only music in the entire movie. John Barry ("Born Free" and "Midnight Cowboy") had written the music for the previous Bond movies (except main title and of course Bacharach's "Casino Royale"). I guess ·Saltzman and Broccoli tired of his talent. As for Roger Moore YOUR CYTOPLASM (Saint's preserve us) - he does have a tough act to follow and ain't too IS DIRTY. GET bad. Guess I ~.as disappointed that the only gadget in the flic was his THE VACUOLE one way wrist watch. CLEANER! COMING ATTRACTIONS: "Scarecrow" - with Al Pacino and Gene Hackman; "0-Lucky Man" - with Malcolm MacDowel; "Jesus Christ­ Superstar" and "Badge 373" (sequel to "French Connection").
