All analysis aside, however, the hovie proves to be fast-paced, ac tion-packed, and un-cliched, de spite these cliched adjectives. Michael Connors is a super- suave American agent who comes up against Dorothy Provine, who turns out to be a British agent, Since they’re on the same side, at least most of the time, Connors proposes to join forces. Yes, dirty-minded reader, that’s not all he proposes. During the movie Connors has this thing about bananas. He eats them constantly, and even uses a peel as a weapon once. If any one can figure out the symbolism in this, please let us know. It must mean something. THE VILLIAN they’re both after is played by Raf Vallone. They’re not sure what he’s up to, but they know it’s no good. He has many girl friends, and one by one they disappear myster iously. Actually they’re being in carcerated in giant plastic cubes for resurection at some later date. They really know he’s up to no good when they stumble upon one of his no-good experiments in the jungles of Brazil. A group of Indians is perform ing fertility rites, and upon being questioned, they tell the agents that there has not been a child born in the tribe for four years. The women are doing their best, but all the men seem to want to do is sit around. JUST THEN Miss Provine gets herself kidnapped by the bad guys, and her captors lead Con nors to the underground bad guy headquarters. Finally we learn of the das tardly plan of the villajn. He is about to send up a rocket which emits radioactive rays as it orbits the earth, with the pur pose of eliminating the world’s sexual appetite, except for him self and his suspended cuties. We now pause for a few sec onds of contemplation on the im plications of this scheme. Will Connors get there just in the nick of time? Will he rescue the very rescuable Dorothy Pro- vine? Will they live happily ever after? What do you think? ART IT’s NOT. Good enter tainment it is. One of the better parts of the movie was Terry-Thomas’ por trayal, first of a jungle explor er and anthropologist, and later of Miss Provine’s chauffeur. It’s hard to tell whether the role was suited to Terry-Thomas, or he just does well in any role he takes. Regardless, he is perfect as the self-sufficient chauffeur and Miss Provine’s protector. REFUSING to be ruffled, he quickly disposes of five ruffians whose intent is bodily harm. . The only time he appears to be disturbed during the entire movie is when Connors asks for Scotch but instead receives Bourbon from the Rolls Royce’s automatic bar tender. The important thing, and the thing everybody has been wait ing for, of course, is the verdict. After all, this is a very important decision. It could mean a couple of hours and a dollar to many fun-seeking Aggies. In the light of this, and after careful deliberation, the movie is . . . recommended. Oh, these de cisions.
