FOLLY TO BE WISE British Ealing comedy. Alastair Sim was a fine actor who made some very good
comedy films. In this he is a frustrated and befuddled Royal Army chaplain and newly appointed entertain-
ment officer for the troops, and whatever can go wrong - does. The humour is mostly in situations, the best
being during the Brains Trust Show when the Reverend (Sims) becomes so befuddled that he causes chaos in
a battle of the sexes. The cast are fine in their roles with Roland Culver, Martita Hunt, Miles Malleson, &
Colin Gordon. $40.00
SHINING VICTORY A great little drama that keeps you guessing -it
just has a very non-formulaic plot--one that is impossible to completely
anticipate which makes the film more enjoyable because of it. A lot of the
British colony of supporting players got into this film, folks like British
music hall comedian Billy Bevan, Donald Crisp and Montagu Love playing
older mentors for the star James Stephenson. Sad to note this gentleman died
just after the movie was finished at
the age of 52. And then there is
Bette!.......According to Bette Davis
in her biography 'Mother Goddam',
I disguised myself as a nurse and
appeared on the set as an extra. The
Producer didn't recognize me for the
first few takes. I had a ball. Imagine
daring to do this today. $50.00
VOODOO TIGER Directed by the 'King Of The Serials' Spencer
Bennett. Jungle Jim gets involved with a Nazi fugitive and his gang of hoodlums in a hunt for $2,000,000 in
art works. Jim also has his hands full with a voodoo jungle cult and a crazed witch doctor who worships the
magical voodoo tiger, and did I fail to mention the shapely blonde jungle girl? $50.00
MA & PA KETTLE AT THE FAIR Marjorie Main & Percy Kilbride. Great comedy with laugh-out-
loud fun, simple corn making a lot of sense. The main title is missing, but you know what you're going to see,
so hey! Pa's sermon is pure gold. $40.00
BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE Goldie Hawn. BUTTERFLIES ARE
FREE is the delightful 1972 film adaptation of the Leonard Gershe play
about a young man who has been blind from birth (Edward Albert)who
moves into his own apartment and almost instantly falls in love with his
kooky next door neighbor (Goldie Hawn), a flighty free spirit who has
trouble with anything resembling commitment, which he turns a blind
eye to but is picked up immediately by his clingy, over-protective
mother (Eileen Heckart). This breezy comedy still holds up pretty well
for a film that's 49 years old. Colour is pink with yellow. $30.00
THE 12 CHAIRS Mel Brooks. This movie has a lot of comedy, but
it actually has a lot of humanity in it as well. There are many moments
throughout that give real insight into the characters, and ourselves. If you
watch carefully, you will find that many scenes are bitter sweet. Within
Brooks classic framework of his films, this one has the most true drama.
And it's full of cheeky humour. The print is in excellent condition and
red. $10.00
