Dec.'62 Gallic filmmaker Jacques Demy, who is obviously absorbed much in quality-developing during his 31 years of living, comltributes strikingly to his homeland "New Wave" with this Carlo Ponti-Georges de Beauregard production starring Anouk Aimee, a gal of considerable importance to the discerning theatregoers on both sides o‘f the Atlantic. M. Demy both wrote and produced this better-grade, bittersweet story of the waterfront cabaret entertainer (Mile. Aimee) who poses casually and carefree to the outside world, inwardly pining forthe father of her young son who has blithefully deserted her. Marc Michel has some memorable moments as the disillusioned young intellectual once acquainted with Mile. Aimee; he comes back into her life, this time falling in love for the first time. Mile. Aimee has the worn, harassed and yet comely countenance for tragedy. French, with English titles. Anouk Aimee, Marc Michel, Jacques Harden, Alan Scott, Elina Labourdette, Annie Duperoux. Partings Ratio: Melodrama 1.85-1 Telepix Corp. 101 Minutes Rel. Dec. 'G2 Warsaw's Film Polski (Syrena Unit) produced this absorbing story of Poland just prior to and during the tragic events of World War II and where the more discerning critics abound, the words of "superlative!" and "great cinema!" will be inevitably heard. Wojciech J. Has directed from a screenplay by himself and Stanislaw Dygat, as based on the latter's novel, Tadeusz janezor providing a memorable portrayal of a young, philosophically inclined student, and Maria Wachowiak, a girl eventually corrupted by her environment. The two players pace out their roles with vividness and vitality; although sharing Maria's bed, Janezor doesn't consulmmate their affair at the outset. Five years later, Poland is still occupied by the Germans, but the Soviet army is approaching from the east and the ante-bellum aristocracy in which janezar grew up is rapidly disintegrating. Maria, now a countess, seduces Janezor, ex-soldier and war prisoner, and he commits himself to follow her into the questionable times of peace. Polish, English titles. Maria Wachowiak, Tadeusz Janezor, Gustaw Holoubek, Staurnin Zurawski. Stepchilidren Artkino Ratio: Melodrama 1.85-1 75 Minutes Rel. Nov. 'G2 Producer-director-writer Tenghiz Abuladze poignantly probes into the lives of a contemporary Russian family as he spins Out a relatively uncomplicated story of a stepmother's arrival and subsequent dttnger to newly found family harmony through inadvertent return of the father's former flame. All's well, of course, in time, but before the Abuladze yam (in collaboration with Revas Japaridze) has concluded its anticipated course, he manages to cite some significant arguments for the oft-repeated contention that the family that plays together stays together. This is in Russian, with English titles. Otar Koberidze is the father, Tsitsino Tsitsishvili the stepmother, and Nani Chikvinidze and Mikho Borashvili the children. Asmat Kondourashvili provides the "other woman" delineation forcefully indeed. Gruzia-Film Studio presentation. Otar Koberidze, Tsitsino Tsitsishvili, Nani Chikvinidze, Mikho Borashvili, Asmat Kondaurashvili. 10 BOXOFFICE BookinGuide :: Dec. 3, 1962
