“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.

is Hollywood’s (and only Holly

“Battleground” more. It’s blood

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.
