HARRY  AND  TONTO Academy  Award  Winner  :  Best  Actor  Art
        Carney - a quiet, quirky genius and this film is a lasting testament to his
        talent. Watch for superb ensemble acting from Ellen Burstyn, Larry Hag-
        man, the inimitable Chief Dan George, Arthur Hunnicutt, and a host of great
        character actors from the 70's. The cultural references of that period seem
        interesting and historical and not dated, probably because--like everything
        else in this film--they are treated with respect.  Watch it. Savour it. This is
        really something special. Some colour fade. $30.00.

        Maugham's 1944  novel. It stars Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney, John Payne,
        Anne Baxter, Clifton Webb, and Herbert Marshall, with a supporting cast
        including Lucille Watson, Frank Latimore, and Elsa Lanchester. Marshall

        Mr. SCOUTMASTER  1953 comedy. Clifton Webb, Edmund Gwenn
        & George (foghorn) Winslow. Clifton Webb becomes Mister Scoutmaster
        as a matter of show business survival. He's host of a television program
        which is in danger of being cancelled because it's not reaching the youth
        audience. Edmund Gwenn who is the pastor of the church Webb and wife
        Frances Dee have the perfect solution. The Boy Scout troop that meets in his
        church has just lost their scoutmaster because they're an unruly group of kids
        at times ...so guess who gets the job. $40.00.
        THE PRINCE OF FOXES 1949 drama. IMDb:  Strangely overlooked
        & underrated, this is a wonderful film, full of swashbuckling action, intrigue
        & adventure. The acting is mostly first rate and the production values &
        photography are both sumptuous. But beyond this, PRINCE OF FOXES is
        blessed with a literate, intelligent script & story line in which it is an actual
        pleasure  to  immerse  oneself.  Intelligent  viewers  are  amply  rewarded  for
        their  time  &  attention,  also  filmed  in  Italy  on  the  story  locations.  Good
        condition made up from several prints. $35.00

        WHAT'S  SO  BAD  ABOUT  FEELING  GOOD   1968  starring
        George Peppard and Mary Tyler Moore. This is a 1968 film which seems to
        be a parody of our current times. It is about a pandemic that doesn't kill
        people -it makes them happy. But all the characters of our times are right up
        there on the screen... unbelievable!  Of course the print is pink - is still worth
        the look.  Great fun.       $30.00.
        THE SHUTTERED ROOM Gig Young, Carol Lynley.      Creepy!
        This is an unfairly unappreciated and extremely effective Gothic horror flick
        from  the  late  60's.  It  is  also  one  of  the  better  attempts  to  bring  literary
        mastermind H.P. Lovecraft to the screen. The acting is magnificent! Carol
        Lynley  and  Gig  Young  are  in  top  form  as  the  bewildered  young  couple
        whose arrival in the small, tranquil village seems to trigger off a series of
        bizarre and ultimately deadly occurrences. Colour pink. $20.00.

        A NEW LEAF ~ or~ 'There's carbon on the valves.  Henry Graham (Walter Matthau) is a playboy
        running out of funds who is willing to do anything to try to avoid doing something useful with his life ...even
        marrying Henrietta (Elaine May). This is a funny movie, with clever dialogue, great sight gags and great
        performances. From his relationship with his butler to his relationship with his car, Walter Matthau does his
        usual masterful job in creating a memorable character that you end up liking. No crudity, no vulgarity, just
        clever, well-executed humour with a touch of sweetness.  Colour brownish. $25.00.  Cont: Next page
