Marilyn Monroe. But don’t be lieve them; it’s a lie from beginning to end. Misty Rowe is just another in a long line of beautifid girls who try to cloak themselves in the Monroe mystique, and fail. She’s enjoyable on “Hee-Haw,” but definitely over her head here. Cinema One, shows Friday and Saturday at 6, 7:50 and 9:45, Sunday at 4:10, 6, 7:50 and 9:45, and Monday at 7:40 and 9:35.

Cinema One shows Friday and Saturday at midnight. BREAKHEART PASS- Charles Bronson, one of the biggest stars worldwide, has really been cranking them out lately.

Cinema Two, shows Friday at 5:50, 7:45 and 9:40, Saturday and Sunday at 2:20, 4:05, 5:50, 7:45 and 9:40, and Monday t rough Thursday 7:35 and 9:30. NASHVILLE- The finest film of 1975. Robert Altman has assembled a superb cast (the standouts: Ronee Blakely, Michael Murphy, and Bar bara Harris) and set them out in front of the camera to improvise on a storyline about the people who are the world of the Grand Ole Opry. It is a touching, humorous, and daring film that deserves a wider audience than it received. A must see for any one interested in the direction American films may take. Campus Theatre, showing Friday through Tuesday. Call theater for additional information. LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES- Diiected by Jean-Pierre Melville, from Jean Cocteaus’ novel, this one is an excellent example of a novel that actually works on the screen.
