'Cabaret' Heads Films For The Week

A convenient listing of the
week's films. Commercial
schedules may be subject to
change. (Some films shown by
University groups may be
inadvertently omitted. If your
group's film is one of these, we
would appreciate hearing from
you.)

TONIGHT

Holiday (Wilson Hall; 7 and
9 p.m.; 75 cents or series ticket).
Perhaps the most difficult to
see and certainly one of the
best and funniest of the Kate
Hepburn-Cary Grant comedies.
George Cukor's direction is at
its witty, sentimental and
graceful best.

The Green Word (Wilson
308; 7:30 p.m.; free). A
Brazilian film presented by the
Spanish Dept.

The Cheerleaders (Cinema;
2,4,6,8 and 10 p.m.; $2)

Parsons.

THURSDAY

They Drive by Night
(Wilson Hall; 5:30,8 and 10:30
p.m.; 75 cents or series ticket)
Humphrey Bogart directed by
Roaul Walsh, who, if he wasn't
ever profound, was
consistently exciting and at
times strangely sensitive. 1940.

FRIDAY

To Have and Have Not
(Wilson Hall; 5:30,8 and 10:30
p.m.; 75 cents or series ticket)
Humphrey Bogart, Lauren
Bacall, Walter Brennan. From
Hemingway, 1944. One of the
best Howard   Hawks
adventure films because, like
all his films, it is centered
around closely observed and
warmly developed characters.
Bacall can't be much more
than 17, but her performance
has innuendos and suggestions
that I'm sure my Aunt May
wouldn't approve. Brennan,
who I think is perhaps the
greatest and neglected actor of
this period (except John
Carradine?), rambles around
telling jokes about dead bees
and trying to figure out why
Bacall calls Bogart Steve. Of
course, there is a plot
too–about Nazi agents trying
to steal Cuba or
something–but you'll hardly
even notice. Too much else is
going on that's much more fun.

SATURDAY

Frankenstein Meets The
Space Monster (Wilson Hall; 8
p.m.; 50 cents) This is it: perhaps
the worst movie ever made.
Judith Crist denounced it for
its "obscene and corrupt
mentality." Following a war,
the space people come to earth
to steal women. Screenplay
written by George Garrett
while he was
writer-in-residence at Virginia.
Most characters named after
people at UVa. Garrett will be
on hand to discuss
film-making.
