Oct. '62 Sophocles' classic Greek tragedy, known to most Americans only through Katherine (Cornell's Broadway stage production several years ago, receives a first rate picturization in this Norma Films production entirely filmed in and around Athens by Demetrios Paris. Irene Petpas, one of the stars of Carl Foreman's "The Guns of N'avarone," will be familiar to some patrons but the strongest selling point will be to high school and college students, whose attendance should be recruited through special discount tickets. As directed by George Tzovellas from his own screenplay, the powerful and moving drama will capture and hold the attention, even of many regular moviegoers, vitho cannot fail to be impressed by the poetry of the text, clarified in English titles by Noelle Gillmor, or by the dignified and touching portrayal of the unhappy Antigone by the handsome Miss Papas. Excellent, too, is Monos Katrakis, as Creon, who Antigone attempts to defy by burying her slain brother. After Creon orders the rebellious girl buried alive she hangs herself. Creon then witnesses his ow*n son kill himself and his grieving wife take her own life — scarcely a happy tale but an undeniably effective telling. The stork black-andwhite 'photography of Dinos Katsouridis and the haunting music of Arghyris Kounadis are distinct assets. Sperie Perakos was executive producer. Irene Papas, Monos Katrakis. Nikos Kazis, Ilia Livikou, Maro Kontou. A Game for Six Lovers A ^ gg®£ Comedy Melodrama Falcon-States Rights 88 Minutes Rel. Oct. '62 Jacques Doniol-Val croze, journalist-flim critic, among the leaders of the French "New Wave" or “Nouvelle Vague," has now turned out his first feature-length attraction, on oddly amusing vignette of young love, not unlike the penetrating Ingmar Bergman's treatment in "Smiles of a Summer Night" in 1956. Against the imposing setting of a baroque French chateau, three parallel and simultaneous stories ore played out by three young couples, initially strangers to each other. The sextette includes Bernadette Lafont, Froncoise Brion, Alexandre Stewart, Michel Galobru, Jacques Riberolles and Gerard Barroy. M. DoniolValcroze directed from his own screenplay and Fherre Braunberger produced. Exploitation potential is promising. French is spoken, accompanied by English titles. Bernadette Lafont, Froncoise Brion, Alexandre Stewart, Michel Galabru, Jacques Riberolles. Tales of Paris A Times Film 85 Minutes Four of France's loveliest stars, Dony Robin, currently in "Waltz of the Toreadors," Demy Saval, recently in Hollywood for Disney's "Moon Pilot," Francoise Arnoul and Catherine Deneuve, Roger Vadim's latest protege, adorn four amusing, if completely inconsequential, tales, two of them directed by the famed Marc Allegret oind Michel Boisrond, known to art house devotees. Add the eccentric Dairy Cowl, the strikingly handsome Christian Marquond and Paul Guers and the current French teenage singing idol, Johnny Hallydoy, and this Francis Cosne production has all the elements for art house appeal. Liberally sprinkled with sex and bathtub scenes, the picture is adult fore. The first episode, "Ella," was directed by newcomer Jacques Poitrenoud and is followed by "Antonia," on impish little romp in which a wife deliberately seduces a former lover to prove to him that she is good in bed, this tale benefiting by Boisrond's direction dnd Morquand's playing. 'The third, "Francoise," has Mile. Arnoul and Francoise Brion (a striking newcomer) vying for the favors of the latter's faithful lover, a rueful tale well directed by Clcfude Borma, while the closing episode, directed by Allegret from a screenplay by Vadim, is more of a showcase for the singing a'nd guitar playing of Hallyday although Miss Deneuve also registers. The photography and production ore firstrate. Francoise Arnoul, Christian Marquond, Dony Robin, Darry Cowl, Dany Saval, Paul Guers. Episode Fihn Rel. Oct.
