Nov. '62 Alberto Sordi, Italy's popular comedian, who recently attracted attention in Columbia's "The Best of Enemies'' in its U.S. release, is the chief selling point in this realistic war drama in which Sordi supplies the welcome lighter touches. A Dino de Lourentiis production, the Italian-language film was directed by Luigi Comencini of "Bread, Love and Dreams" fame, and the cast includes two American actors, Martin Balsam, who speaks Italian as on excitable corporal, and Alex Nicol, who speaks English for his small role of an American paratrooper, but these two hove scant marquee draw generally. Described as a satiric comedy, the picture is more often grim, deadly serious, even tragic, as it deals with the reign of terror that followed Italy's surrender in World War II. It's no laughing matter as a fleeing Jewish girl is killed by the Nazis, an escaped American is recaptured and Sordi's valiant soldier pal dies in his arms, but there ore other ironic moments which bring forth chuckles. Among these is a scene where the starving townspeople raid a truck filled with black market flour, resulting in a white-coked, screaming mob. Sordi is equally convincing in the humorous and the dramatic moments of his full-bodied portrayal and the French actor. Serge Reggiani, is primarily a pathetic figure as a private on "sick leave" and Carla Gravina contributes a poignant bit. Patrons not surfeited with war films will find this picture absorbing and authentic. Alberto Sordi, Martin Balsam, Serge Reggiani, Carla Gravina, Alex Nicol, Eduardo de Filippo. Baltic Express Ratio: Suspense 185-1 Drama Telepix Corp. 95 Minutes Rel. Dec. '62 Lucyna Winnicka, a name to be readily recognized in the larger, metropolitan centers where a previous Telepix Polish import, "Joan of Angels?" has played to considerable grosses, is the top personality, and most effective thespion, in this Jerzy Kowolerowicz production, accorded much of the impressively dramatic touches that hove distinguished post Kowolerowicz imports. Kowolerowicz both wrote (in collaboration with Jerzy Lutowski) and directed a compact, concise study of a man on the run, in this instance an overnight train from a large central European station to the seashore the effective background. Miss Winnicka boards the train, gets to share a compartment with a stranger, Leon Niemozyk, much to the consternation of Teresa Szmigielowna, who would like Niemozyk's favors, and Zbigniew Cybulski, trying repeatedly and in vain to re-establish a relotionshio Miss Winnicka is determined to end. Murder figures in the proceedings, only to the extent that Miss Winnicka points to the guilty party. At journey's end, Niemozyk leaves her for his wife. Polish, English titles. Lucyna Winnicka, Leon Niemozyk, Teresa Szmigielowna, Zbigniew Cybulski. You Came Too Late Hellenic Films 75 Minutes Melodrama Rel. Dec. '62 Athens-based Mirma Films was responsible for this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' "Lady of the Camellias" or "Camille," the J. Moris screenplay directed by D. Kopsakis. It's predominantly a tragedy, death peering patiently over the transom, so to speak, while the principal players appropriately wring their hands and cringe in the face of onrushing fates. Helen Hotziagvri brings a winsomeness to the girl's part, and she is ably supported by Andrew Barkoulis, as the boy, and Dino Papaglianopolos, os the father. The Greekspeaking audiences, modest in quantity though they may be, will find this much to their liking. English dialog accompanies. Helen Hotziagvri, Andrew Barkoulis, Dino Papaglianopolos, Theo Korousos. 10 BOXOFFICE BookinGuide :: Dec. 10, 1962
