I- A-6 Friday December 16" 1966 Citizen-News 'MAN FOR ALL SEASONS' MORGAN THEATRE Marais t- gance and' natural refinement about that sets it happily apart from more aggressive entertainments and that air evaporates only when some of the dance numbers strive to make an obvious Broadway-ish appeal which the production otherwise studiously avoids For instance the dancers are scarcely needed to out introductions to Marais and songs which they do literally with signs seemingly a good idea but quite come off We want to see and hear these delightfid singers without intrusions They are fascinating artists and must not obscure their personalities with too much dressing The time for them to hold the stage completely alone is just before in permission nother danger is the redundancy of having the

-of poignant-tenderness A picture whose poetic quality of truth is so delicate that its very delicacy makes it shout aloud with iron chains of wisdom This is Man For All a haunting experience of courage faith and love now on exclusive display at the Musio Hall Theater Beverly Hills Perhaps in no other film has the spoken word fallen in such cadential splendour as in this Fred Zhmemann production which was adapted to the screen by Robert Bolt from his play Indeed "A Man For All is so eloquent Bolt must go down In history as one of the finest writers of our time so deep Is his understanding of man One help thinking how stark naked is soul when nailed -to the eras for life In For All this emotion is even more clearly defined It is underscored by-wit and -wisdom made possible by pen and highlighted by superb acting for which a distinguished cast and Fred Zinne-man as director can -take credit And speaking of credit there is no doubt but what Paul Scofield will be nominated come Academy Award time for his truly remarkable emotionally stunning portrayal of -the martyred Sir Thomas -More Seldom has the screen seen such electrifying talent But then seldom has it seen such magnificent dialogue either And the combination makes of' Scofield a giant The setting for Man For All is England 1528 That particular era in history when mind was dominated more by the physical than the mental when a life of ease was forerunner to public apathy and political unrest Ibis was the period when the Roman Catholic Church was upreme and King Henry VIII was determined to usbrp the power in order to divorce Queen Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn But his passion and power sway the church from its stand against divorce and so Henry turned to the one man whom he felt could plead his cause with the Pope Sir Thomas More a member of the High Council Lord Chancellor of England Sir Thomas More was a profoundly 'religious man beloved by all respected by even his enemies who knew character was' cast in a God-like mold and his -ethics and ideals were impregnable' He was 'never too busy for the lesser people nor ever afraid to voice his thoughts to the more powerful Truly a man for all sea-sons Such was Sir Thomas More surrounded by the beauty of his own mind by his beloved wife Alice daughter Margaret the?

Thomas More chose instead to uphold his Christian beliefs- and face death if necessary to defend his- principles Death was his lot even as he knelt at the executioner's block his last remarks were still eloquent die his good servant but first! This was Sir Thomas More a man 'who surpassed his own humanity and unwittingly became a hero Aiding Paul Scofield in his superlative delineation of the great Sir Thomas are -Wendy Hiller as his devoted wife Susannah York as his favorite daughter and confidante Orson -Welles as the aging Cardinal Leo McKern as the ambitious Cromwell Richard Rich as the traitorous young student Nigel Davenport as the Sympathetic Duke of Norfolk andCorin Redgrave as an argumentative young lawyer Robert Shaw plays King Henry VIII and like all the others he has given his role the richness of true- talented and great dramatic insight Packaged in Technicolor with music composed and conducted by Georges Delerue Man For All is truly a beautiful film one which will undoubtedly be recorded as one of the finest ever to grace -the screen certainly the most-eloquent Men in Flying "King and --i 4 rf 1 T- i- best in the exotic dances devised to themes from a film score by a a i here employed for Mr Marais can proudly tafte credit for all the music and lyrics composed for and for hls-perspl-cadty In engaging ng Denise (14) and Ronald (12) Ayres to play a good portion of ft on respectively violin and cello The highly- gifted sister and brother join Marais Viola and Miranda piano in haunting Robert Lee has designed some charming settings that be: fit the intimate proceedings and directed the 'same with grace His gowns -for Miranda- complement her distinctive beauty and her unique art of interpretation She Is Broke BENEFIT PREVIEW SHIFTED Because of the tremendous interest shown by Lps Angeles movie fans In attending Paramount Pictures' special benefit preview of starring Tony Curtis and Rosanna Schiaffl-no to' aid the victims of the devastating floods in 1 r-ence Italy the preview has been shifted to the Stanley Warner Theater in Beverly Hills tonight at 8 pm The showing was moved from the Paramount Studio Theater where It wis originally scheduled to be held to the Stanley Warner Theater because of Its larger seating capacity Doors will opeq at 7:15 BLUE MAX Today 7:00 MILLE'S GREAT 127 MASTERFIECE OF KINGS" LAUREL AIND CHARLIE CHAFLIN EVERYDAY 2 SHOWS DAILY 2 A 8:30 PM (SUN 8 PM) TONIGHT AT 8:30 PM "Breathtaking in scope and a few cldse friends It was the box office ICXOFFICEOPUDMLr 10MAJXTQIMFJI SUNDAY UNDON 10 MB PJI THEATRE PARTIES: Par Paa'4 Raiilat fpacial Thaaba Partr aa4 Craap lafatauilia tall YicRaaamat 27S400S Raaaivad Slit TickaU Sa Caw Minle Ca U7 Sa Mil tt "Sa4 an Matuil Actaclai Pbana 627-1245 hr yaa raaiiart Ipeatha Alia Availakla it all StatawMa Tkaatrai Judy 'Garland telling chums she is flat broke and haying trouble paying her taxes is planning to sell her home here to defray her mounting expenses The Peter Fondas still have a name for their'-nine-month-old son They are tern porarily calling ahim real-life' father- Henry Fonda could only give moral support as he said during his son's trial on charges of possessing marijuana Coming up for Peter- the journey taking by LSD-Ites Fpr Roger Corman and American International Instead of being shunted directly into' television -starring Rosalind Russell and Robert Morse received rave mentions by the sneak preview audiences and will go into the movie houses in the regular way expect big business especially in the big Miss husband Freddie Bris-son -assured me He Is hoping ho said to sign his wife for his musical biography ef -rCoce Chanel for Broadway next season We' shall talnly offer it to her said Freddie as If I know Lesliei Caron has 'my sympathy It's hard for an actress tq realize her box office magic has diminished Leslie was marvelous in and but that was many years ago views' for recent movies have been bad She has been let but from two important projects because of her insistence on okaying the leading man and her demand for top billing- It 'is only when you are box office magic you can dictate the terms When -the -Time 'Magazine reporters were hunting material about Julie Andrews for the cover story due next week one of thqm asked a bit exasperated 'shfc have any was the reply two Alfred Hitchcock and Jack This was news to me about Hitch He directed her in which by the critics but did well at the box office Jack Warner too rich to hate anyone theBEVERLYtheatre' I SOS RIVIRLY DRIVE BEVERLY HILUCAUpNtA 1 STIRRING!
