Moulin Rouge An artistic tapestry of France in the l1880's is created by Jose Ferrer as the crippled artist, Toulouse-Lautrec. Film opens in the Moulin Rouge cafe where Lautrec goes nightly to sketch the divergent characters that watch the colorful can-can dancers. In flashbacks you are carried to the youth of Lautrec, how his childhood accident occurred, and the tragedy that drove him to seek an artist's life. The two women in his life are portrayed by Colette Marchand and Suzanne Flon. Colette as a woman of the streets attracts Lautrec's interest since she is one of the few who isn't revolted by his appearance. He soon learns that hers is not love and wonders if the prophecy of his youth — that no girl could ever marry such as he — will continue throughout his life. When true love does come in the person of Suzanne Flon, he doesn't realize it until it is too late. Before death overtakes him, Lautrec becomes the first living man to have his work accepted by the Louvre. Many of the artist's more famous paintings are exhibited in the film, plus beautiful color, and vivid portrayals. Zsa Zsa Gabor as the singer at Moulin Rouge contributes to the beauty and mood of Director John Huston's latest creation. United Artists Release The Star The death of a movie star, and the rebirth of a wife and mother are the pivotal points that Bette Davis covers in this study of a declining actress.

Her fine is paid by Sterling Hayden, a young man she once "discovered" for one of her movies, but who is now in the boat business. She hides out from newspaper reporters at Hayden's home, but when she hears of a part, scampers back to Hollywood to beg for a test. Alone in the projection room she sees what Hayden, her agent and the studio have been trying to tell her, she can't compete with (CONTINUED ON PACE 16) Sterling Hayden tries to comfort the fading Bette Davis in "The Star."
