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,.
