THE BATTALIOJN Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, April 13, 19G2 I MOVIE go ROUND Palace Through Wednesday — ***** “Sweet Bird of Youth.” Probably the ablest playwright on the American scene today, Tennessee Williams has given us some great stuff. And, generally speaking, Hollywood has done pretty well by him. It’s reported, though, that the movie of “Bird” deviates somewhat from the original play. Some claim they have found the ending of “Bird” (the movie) to be a sentimental, cavalry-at- the-last-minute sort of thing. Maybe. Others say that Aunt Nonni’s sudden switch in char acter at the last takes something from the movie. One takes it for granted that the people critizing the movie have read the play; that’s, to put it mildly, taking a lot for granted. One thing is sure, though; a Tennessee Wil liams work that misfires, wheth er slightly or not so slightly, is still much superior to any of its elaborate, pink-cheeked, maudlin, Hollywoodian counter parts. Queen Through Saturday — **** “Guns of Navarone” — previous ly reviewed — and “Time Bomb*’ — unreviewed. Sunday thru Wednesday — To quote the owner “I don’t know.” If she doesn’t know, who, one might ask, does? Campus Through Saturday — *** “Bat tleground” and ** “Go for Broke” A gory way to spend an evening. “Battleground” and “Go” are rehashes of the Second World War and the Koreaft Po lice Action, respectively. Both star Van Johnson, who no doubt is Hollywood’s (and only Holly wood’s) concept of the average dogface. The tigers will dig “Battleground” more. It’s blood ier. Sunday thru Wednesday — **** “Two Women” As one of the only two Academy Award picks that make sense, Sophia Loren’s portrayal of a mother is fantas tic. The rape scene, involving Sophia, her screen daughter, and a bunch of robed guys, is gua ranteed to make the sensitive viewer feel like throwing up. No sweat, Aggies. Skyway Saturday — “Summer and Smoke” — unreviewed — and * “G.I. Blues” and ** “Cowboy” — both previously reviewed. Sunday — “Summer and Smoke” and “Bridge at Toko-ri” — both unreviewed. Circle Saturday — **** “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” — previously re viewed — and “The Wild Coun try” — unreviewed ■— and * ''"The Naked and the Dead” Concerning “Naked,” any resemblance be tween the movie and Nox-man Mailer’s fine book is purely in the title and plot. Guion Hall Through Sunday — ! ** “Ben Hur” — previously reviewed. T.
