Picture of the Month: ATHENA ■ There's a place near Hollywood called Muscle Beach where young men stand in the sun all day flexing biceps. In Hollywood is every kind of cult and vegetable juice known to man. MGM has dipped into all this and come up with a gay Technicolor musical about wacky people. Jane Powell QAthena) has six sisters with names like Minerva (Debbie Reynolds), Niobe, Calliope, etc. And she has a grandpa (Louis Calhern) who builds Bodies out of even the most depressing raw material. He himself is seventy-eight but can still flip in the air like a pancake. And she has a grandma (Evelyn Varden) who is given to trances on the lawn which result in messages from friendly constellations. They (Jane and family) live in the hills, but down below in unsuspecting smog are lawyer Edmund Purdom and tv singer Vic Damone. Edmund is a very stuffy fellow engaged to Linda Christian. Jane assures him that that marriage isn't in the stars. In no time he has lost all hope for a normal, miserable existence. (At one stage in his bewilderment he finds himself being televised with Mr. Universe.) Vic Damone takes a little easier to Jane's family. Especially to Debbie. To win her he just has to part with flabby muscles and give up meat. It's very light and fantastic and funny, and of course the songs are cute and catchy and the production numbers lots of fun. THE FAR COUNTRY I liked this western— probably because it's a northwestern having to do with gold. This fellow James Stewart cares for no man except old Walter Brennan. They're headed for Skagway to trade a load of cattle for a ranch in Wyoming. But Stewart is wanted for murder and in Skagway he upsets a hanging, giving John Mclntyre, who runs Skagway, a chance to confiscate the cattle. This leaves Stewart even more bitter and defiant. Ruth Roman, tough as nails but rich, hires him to take her up to Dawson where she'll build a gambling house and corrupt the population, which is busy gathering gold. People up there are happy until Ruth arrives and Mclntyre arrives — then there's murder all over the place with Stewart lifting not a finger to defend the oppressed. But a young girl (Corinne Calvet) has been working on his conscience and you can tell he always had a heart. It was just iced over. Technicolor — U.I. I SIGN OF THE PAGAN Fifteen hundred years ago fi there was Attila the Hun, a ferocious Mongol con ■ queror who swept across Europe and sat under the gates of Rome wondering whether he dared to go in. I Not that he was afraid of any living man. He was | terrified only of the Christian God. Jack Palance plays Attila and he's the epitome of a bloodcurdling U barbarian who is still oddly moving and human. Jeff j Chandler is the one Roman who doesn't rattle in his I armor before him, and Rita Gam is Attila's wildcat daughter who eventually defies him. Eduard Franz, Attila's soothsayer, keeps muttering doom into his ear and finally scares the daylights out of him. It's a big, spectacular film (in CinemaScope) with a new slant on the far-reaching effect of early Christianity. Everybody is wrapped in furs and horns and superstition. Ami it's fun to see a movie about a relatively untapped era. Willi l.udniilla Tchorina — U.I.
