Time Listings: Jan. 6, 1961

The Angry Silence. In a grimly impressive critique of the mass mind, a machinist courageously resists the pressure of the union that has "sent him to Coventry."

Exodus. Otto Preminger's superb direction and Dalton Trumbo's superlative script have made the rambling bestseller about Israel into a stirring, four-hour epic.

The Sundowners. When not upstaged by dingoes, wombats, endless flocks of sheep and Peter Ustinov, Stars Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr are appropriately knockabout as a shiftless couple beating the Australian bush.
