'A the'Mo ncomfortably rea By Jerry Calabrese "Diary of A Mad Housewife," is a superb motion picture. Granted, that is about the oldest line In the book, but It applies to this film. The acting Is great, a little overdone, but overall the performandes are excellent. At times, the script tends to*ard the extreme, but again, these flaws are barely noticable, if at all. The over stress of the "In crowd"life that is rejected by Carrie Snodgrass, the female- lead, is perhaps the largpst flaw. Richard laniamin. the male lead, and the guiltiest party To me "'Jet-set' overkill" in the script, also does a good job despite his excess enthusiasm. In "Diary of A Mad Housewife," one gets a fairly ac curate, if somewhat exagerated, look at life on the "upper East Side." The phoney smiles, the unreal friendships, and the pretty people. The most frightening look is at the people who try to crash their way into the surrealistic zoo, and faIl. To say anything more about this film would be foolish, not to mention unnecessary, "Diary of A Mad Housewife" speaks for itself. From this side of the screen, "Diary" looks like one of the best films of 1970. 'In the Heat of the Night' coming Speaking of films, now that the soon to be opened Russell House theatre is completed, there are some good films on' the schedule. As of the writing of this column, the projectors have not arrived, so no one knows just when the doors of the renovated Assembly room will open, and until they do,1 Currell College will continue to be used. The entire film schedule can be obtained at the In formation Desk of the Russell House. The following are just a few of the probable high spots. "In The Heat Of The Night," starring Sidney Poitier, and Rod Stieger, plays tomorrow, November 17. This film won Rod Stieger an Academy Award for his portrayal of a smalitown policeman, and is well worth seeing. This column has no knowledge of "The Ritual," playing Nov. 20-22, but because it's directed by Ingrnar Bergman, H1 should be worth while. if you like shockers, "Psyco," which plays on Tuesday November 24, is the perfect opportunity to see one of the first "rytdern," shock film,.
