 film of the past ten years and winner of the Cannes, Stratford, Edin- 

 burgh, Vancouver, and San Francisco Film Fectival awards. 



One of the best vie^s of Indian rural life ever dipicted and out- 

 standing for its pure beauty of humanism and cinematography . 



: 



March 8,9, & 10 Ballad of a Soldier (from Russia) 



and Visit to Picasso (short) 



In Russian, with English sub-titles. The best Russian film since World 

 War II. I'iinner at .Cannes and San Francisco, a new Russian director 

 emerges to^take up where Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, and Tisse 

 left off. ^rigori Chukhari's Ballad of a Soldier is the account of a 

 Russian war hero returning home to visit his mother. The scenes of 

 destruction at home bring forth the realization that war is the plight 

 of mankind. 



March 22, 23, & 24- —Forbidden Games (from France) 



and Man In a Cocked Hat (from England) 

 \ 



A double feature of opposites. Forbidden Games, in French with English 

 sub-titles, T,ron the Grand Prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1952. 

 It is the story of a delicately beautiful 5 ye?r old <*trl and her 

 emotionally shattering tale of children in war. 



Man In a Cocked Hat brings forth tlbe comic talents of Peter 

 Sellers, Ian Carmichael, and Terry Thomas. It is a spoof of the British 

 foreign office and funny in the typical British ™ay. Something to 

 cheer you up after Forbidden Games. 



^ i D 



April 5th and 7th Seven Samurai (from Japan) 



(Sunday at 1 PM and 7 PM) 



In Japanese with English sub-titles. Venice film fertival award 

 and considered by ma^y critics to be the finest motion picture ever 

 produced. Hollywood borrowed the sript to film the Magnificent Seven. 



The story of seven warriors hired by a farm villa e to protect 

 them from raiding bandits. Some of the greatest battle scenes ever 

 filmed. 



April 26, 27, & 28 On the Waterfront (U.S.A. ) 



The best from Hollywood. Marlon Brando justly deserves the academy 

 award he is given for his portrayal of an ex-fighter caught up in the 

 vices of corrupt union officials. One t^p sne again.
