Big Store & A Day at the races

— W 6 July 2.15

Although these are not the best Marx Bros. films, they are in keeping with the normal style — very fast dialogue, lots of action and lots of laughes. As with most Marx Bros, films, there is something for everyone. Slapstick comedy, appauling bad puns, quick reparte and ever present snide comments about those in authority and holding the purse-strings. Always a guarantee of a couple of hours entertainment.

Zabriskie Point

Tues 5 July 2.15 p.m.

A film set in the stormy student rebellions in the States in the late '60s A dissillusioned student takes off into the desert after having short a policeman at Berkeley University. In the desert he meets a girl, and he attempts to work out all his feelings with her as well as getting it off in a cloud of dust. An interesting film in terms of what was happening in the late sixties, but it has dated badly and at times seems comical.

Odessa File

— Thurs, 7 July 2.15 p.m.

A bloddy good film set in Germany in 1963 where a young journalist (Jan Voigt) stumbles across an escape network for ex-Nazis and in the process of exposing it finds his father's murderers. Very exciting film of the 'thriller' style.
