CINEMA: Time Listings, Jun. 6, 1960

Masters of the Congo Jungle. A camera roaming through densest Africa arrestingly catches the primordial behavior of man and beast.

The Savage Eye. The eye is the camera, and savage is the word for it as it views the pointless life and loveless love of a Los Angeles divorcee.

Jazz on a Summer's Day. During 85 woolly minutes at the Newport Jazz Festival, a novice director gives his audience some solid sound, and a way-in view of the way out: Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan and like that.

Hiroshima, Mon Amour (French). In a film artfully woven of languorous daydreams and short, jagged episodes of violence and death, a Japanese architect and a French actress find that love can grow in the atomic rubble of Hiroshima.

Flame Over India. In an Eastern version of the western, not even hordes of the fiercest Indians (Asian variety) can stop a trainload of assorted adventurers, including Lauren Bacall, from toting a threatened little rajah to safety.

PoIIyanna. Walt Disney's best live-actor movie sticks to the original lachrymose plot like warm icing to a sugar bun. Intelligently acted by 13-year-old Hayley Mills.

The Battle of the Sexes. Versatile Actor Peter Sellers as James Thurber's dull little clerk who finds unsuspected strength in his filing-cabinet mind when he battles a female efficiency expert.

I'm All Right, Jack. This time Sellers is a union shop steward—a ludicrous but often pathetic petty-bourgeois Marxist—in an uproarious satire of the featherbedded "farewell state."
