Nov. '62 The tremendous developments in housing projects around the world serve as dramatic background for a comedy-drama that could well be played out in Minneapolis as well as Moscow. The Gorky Film Studios production, with scenario by G. Mdivani and direction by V. Elsimont, follows anticipated course, telling of the romance between construction worker E. Burenkov and young unwed mother N. Doroshina, supplementary entertainment welcomely provided by the latter's kid brother, S. Lykhin. Bigness is the thing in construction today and the mere problems of mortals hove been passed by; the Russian filmmakers have seen fit now to probe a bit into the maze of complexes, at the some time realizing full the impact of emotions. Russian dialog is accompanied by English titles. E. Burenkov, N. Doroshina, S. Lykhin, V. Vladimorova, V. Gusev, T. Peltser. Devi (The Goddess) A Edward Harrison 95 Minutes Rel. Nov. '62 India's Satyajit Ray, enjoying a directorial reputation on a par with Sweden's Ingmar Bergman (and like that worthy, contributing on a writing level) has long ago demonstrated his superb technique in delving into the past of his fabled land. He concerns himself this time with fanaticism in a religious Indian atmosphere of a century ago, telling painstakingly of a girl's elevation to goddess (her father-in-law dreams thert she is the reincarnation of the exalted Kali), in the process plunging her family to doom. Human frailties are pointedly captured by Soumitra Chatterjee, the husband; Sharmila Tagore, the girl who eventually goes insane; and Chhabi Biswas, the father-in-law. and Arpen (Thoudhury, the nephew. Indian dialog is accompanied by English subtitles. Chhabi Biswas, Soumitra Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore, Purnendu Mukherjee, Karuna Bonnerjee. II Grido (The Outcry) A Astor Pictures 115 Minutes Rel. Nov. '62 In 1957, two American actors, Steve Cochran and Betsy Blair, who had scored in "Marty," went to Italy to make a foreign-language picture for the promising director, Michelangelo Antonioni. Five years later, this grim drama is receiving its first showing in the U.S., primarily because Antonioni's later films, "La Avventura" and "La Notte," recently were acclaimed by critics and did strong business in the art houses in 196162. This earlier Antonioni effort has some of the virtues (a realistic, if depressing, mood and atmosphere) and most of the defects (a rambling, over-long script) of his later efforts. However, his name and that of Cochran and Alida Valli, should insure good business in the class spots. It's too grim and preoccupied with sex for general audiences. As directed by Antonioni, from his script in collaboration with Elio Bartolini and Enno De Concini, the picture starts in a somber, foggy mood and goes on through many unhappy episodes, in which the wandering hero dallies with several women, until he return^ to the town where he had been happy with his mistress and little daughter, and plunges to his death from a tower. Cochran reveals a ruggedly handsome, Clark Gable-like quality as the wandering hero and Miss Valli (remembered from "The 'Third Mon," "Miracle of the Bells," etc.) is excellent as his tortured mistress. Dorian Gray supplies the film's rare lighter moments as a lusty, amorous widow, but Miss Blair has little to do as a plain-looking seamstress. A study in loneliness, this was produced by Robert Alexander Productions in association with S.P.A, Cinematografica. Steve Cochran, Alida Valli, Betsy Blair, Dorian Gray, Gabriella Pallotti, Mima Girardi, Lyn Show. 10 BOXOFFICE BookinGuide :: Nov. 12, 1962
