SATURDAY
For those moviegoers who like
pictures that thrill, chill and
shock them. “Curucu, Beast of the
Amazon” should do just that.
The movie is in color and stare
John Bromfield and Beverly Gar
land, and was filmed entirely in
Brazil, most of it in the awesome
jungle which is its locale. The
film is said to present with almost
documentary fidelity the natural
perils of the Amazon jungle—its
animal, reptile, aquatic and insect
creatures and its head-hunting
aborigines. The one un natural ele
ment is a terrifying monster.
SUNDAY & MONDAY
It’s ‘‘Hollywood or Bust” for
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis as
the latter, playing the part of a
rabid movie fan, heads across the
^—————
the country to see his idol, Anita
Etoberg, at first hand.
Martin romances with Pat Crow
ley on the cross-country tour,
which is puncuated with the teams
adventures and misadventures,
and some of their clever routines.
The trip to the tune of five
catchy songs by the Oscar winning
composers of “Love Is A Many
Splendored Thing”, is through 8
states’ worth of scenic beauty and
miles of briefly costumed pretty
girls, and of course, Miss Ekberg.
The language-murdering Maxie
Rosenbloom co-stars and furnishes
some of the laughs.
The Vista-Vision, Technicolor
comedy was drected by Frank
Tashlin.
TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY
Bunt Lancaster and Katherine
Hepburn turn in excellet perfor
mance in the “Rainmakers”, which
won a Blue Ribbon Award, and
fine praises from reviewers every
where.
Described as light and airy,
with great warmth and depth,

tragedy, which are relieved by
comedy touches which border on
the slap-stick.
Others who contribute to bring
this out of the class of ordinary

Bridges, Earl Holliman and
Wallace Ford.
Adapted from the stage play,
with Hal Wallis as producer, it
was directed by Joseph Anthony.
