Cinema: Feb. 3, 1961
Circle of Deception. An ingenious spy thriller, set in pre-D-day France, that raises some subtle and uncomfortable questions of political morality.
Facts of Life. A satirical, sometimes wonderfully nutty comedy of mannersand the funniest U.S. film since The Apartmentcasts Bob Hope as a middleclass, middle-aged philanderer fumbling after Lucille Ball, and perhaps after the meaning of marriage.
The Wackiest Ship in the Army. A World War II farce about a rickety schooner's passage through a Jap-infested ocean is floated only through the splendiferous shenanigans of Jack Lemmon.
Where the Boys Are. A corny, raucous outburst of sorority sex-talk on a Florida spring vacation that intellectual movie-goers will loathe themselves for liking.
Ballad of a Soldier (in Russian). A journey through war-weary Russia, full of bone-jarring energy and creative gaiety.
Make Mine Mink. British Comedian Terry-Thomas' usual weedy charm and blithering idiocy wonderfully enliven a piece about a retired major turned modern Robin Hood.
Other notable current attractions: The Angry Silence, Tunes of Glory, Exodus, The Sundowners and The Virgin Spring.
