CINEMA

The Leopard. Italian Film Director Luchino Visconti (Rocco and His Brothers) has made a remarkable film—scenically beautiful, dramatically satisfying, philosophically profound—about the fortunes of a fading princely household in 19th century Sicily. Burt Lancaster. Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon star in this splendid cinematic set piece.

Lord of the Flies. William Golding's widely read novel of human frailty and the force of sin in society has been translated into an adventure story about castaway boys on a desert island that is often shocking but never frightening. Golding's harrowing allegory has been lost, and all that is left is an ineptly acted movie that will anger the book's partisans, perplex the uninitiated.

The Small World of Sammy Lee. Anthony Newley, of Stop the World—/ Want to Get Off, has gotten off at a Soho bump-and-grindery where he is the frantically busy master of ceremonies with several illicit deals on the side. As the fast-running Sammy, Newley is wickedly sly, inwardly terrified, foolishly hopeful in this sordid and often biting slice-of-life film.

The Thrill of It All. Doris Day has done with defending her virtue against the assaults of assorted seducers, has settled down with James Garner, two kids, and a contract to make TV commercials for a soap company. The results are sudsy but far from squeaky-clean.
