What’s on tonight?
You’ve got to go out to see the best! Look for
these new pictures at your favorite theater
LA DOLCE VITA (“The Sweet Life”)
Astor; Italian dialogue, English titles (Adult)
who’s in it? Marcello Mastroianni, Yvonne Furneaux, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimee. what’s it about? Sad emptiness of the life in modern Rome seen by a young reporter who has no beliefs or love in him. what’s special? Director Federico (“La Strada”) Fellini’s wise way with people, in swirling groups or pathetically alone . . . fine acting by Mastroianni (usually just a handsome guy). what’s the verdict? The substance justifies the three-hour length; in fact, it P ought to he seen more than once to grasp every meaning. Its events may be shocking, hut its viewpoint (Fellini’s) is healthy.
THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY
Paramount, Technicolor (Family)
who’s in it? Debbie Reynolds, Fred Astaire. Lilli Palmer. Tab blunter. what’s it about? The ruckus that breaks loose when a playboy shows up at his exwife’s home for their daughter’s wedding.
what’s special? Fred as beau of the hall. Says a pal of Debbie’s: “He doesn't dance like a father!” . . . Lilli’s sparkle as the lady who can see through the old charm boy — but still isn’t immune. what’s the verdict? Romantic comedies are so rare that any entry’s welcome. This one’s gabby but pleasant: nice people, pretty clothes, dreamy Frisco backgrounds.
RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE
20th; CinemaScope, De Luxe Color (Adult)
who’s in it? Carol Lynley, Jeff Chandler, Eleanor Parker. Tuesday Weld. what’s it about? A Peyton Place girl writes a best-seller about her town — she calls her book “Samuel’s Castle,” but it’s obviously “Peyton Place.” Anyhow, it certainly bugs the homefolks! what’s special? Lovely autumn and winter scenes (California posing as New England ) .
what’s the verdict? Feeble sequel, relying for its punch on moments when people talk about climaxes in the original movie. If Mary Astor didn’t keep thinking up nasty schemes, there'd be no new plot.
THE LAST SUNSET
U-I, Eastman Color (Adult)
who’s in it? Kirk Douglas, Rock Hudson, Carol Lynley, Dorothy Malone. what’s it about? Dangerous cattle drive that throws together a killer, a lawman and two women with a strange secret. what’s special? The natural beauty of Carol’s face . . . effective photography, like a dust-hazed shot of a horse and rider (Rock) sinking in quicksand. what’s the verdict? Carol and a really daring plot twist make this big (and long) movie extra-absorbing, while western fans will feel right at home with Kirk’s goodbadman and Rock’s dependable hero.
THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE
Embassy, Mysti-Mation (Family)
who’s in it? Louis Locke, Jane Zale, Ernest Revere, Marvin Hall. what’s it about? A 19th Century villain's plan to rule the world, foiled by captives on his island base.
what’s special? Delicate artistry of the process. It mixes animated drawings and live action; designs, costumes and props to suggest the steel-engraved pictures in early editions of Verne books. what’s the verdict? A delightful surprise! It has touches of poetry and (like “Journey to the Center of the Earth ’) lots of dead-pan fun with Victorian melodrama.
