We interrupt the dissection of 2001 to bring you four films
which (in our humble...) are not screened nearly enough
-----------------------------------------------------------

1. Every Man for Himself and God Against All (The Legend of Kaspar
   Hauser).   Germany 1974.  d.Werner Herzog

	Bruno S. is dropped into civilization after spending his 
	whole life in a cave.   He is doomed to die because he
	cannot accept the absurdities and contradictions of life we
	take for granted.  Would make an interesting double bill
	with Trouffaut's "The Wild Child".

2. Intermezzo
	USA 1939. d.Gregory Ratoff  ph.Gregg Toland

	A reknowned violinist (Leslie Howard) falls in love with
	his musical protege (Ingrid Bergman never looking lovlier).
	A scant 69 minutes is length, this film is a jewel.  Remade
	recently as "Honeysuckle Rose" with Willie Nelson and Amy
	Irving.

3. Walkabout
	Australia 1970. d/ph. Nicholas Roeg

	A man kills himself in the desert, leaving his two small
	children to trek among the Aborigines to safety.  Screenplay
	by the reknowned English dramatist Edward Bond (Saved, Lear,
	The Sea).

4. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
	USA 1966. d.Mike Nichols  ph.Haskell Wexler

	Adapted from the Edward Albee play. In a word, SENSATIONAL!
	A middle-aged history professor and his wife (Richard Burton
	and Elizabeth Taylor) burden a new faculty member and his
	(Geroge Segal and Sandy Dennis) with the garbage of their
	American Dream gone sour.  Oscars for Liz and Sandy, nomi-
	nations for Burton, Segal, Nichols, and Wexler.  Why this
	isn't revered as a classic is beyond me.  Seldom seen on TV.
	Why??

We now return you to 2001: A Net Odyssey, already in progress.
