The Godfather Tues 2.15.
Director: Francis Ford Coppola.
Fair dealings and foul in the Mafia as a medium for Coppola to spread his wings, Marlon Brando to cap his career, and Robert Duvall, Al Pacino and John Casale to prove their worth. Scored by Fellini's composer Nino Rota. If you were a bit worried by Part Two go back and see this: it's much better.
The Go-Between Wed 2.15.
Director: Joseph Losey.
Grand Prize Winner at Cannes. Julie Christie and Alan Bates both give excellent performances in this film about a society lass and her secret liason with a farm hand. Losey makes much of Harold Pinter's screenplay to evoke the social atmosphere before WW1, and maintains fine cinematic control throughout. Margaret Leighton is right up to the mark as Christie's mother. A period film not often equalled.
