Film to be shown

by Andrea Deakin, Terrace Contributor
TERRACE — The film shown on Thursday, Nov. 27,
‘City of Women’’, was a surrealist web of lust, longing

and warfare between the

sexes which vividly and

vigorously questioned our attitudes to relationships be-
tween the sexes, and our sensitivity to each other,

Personal

relationships were

shown stripped of

glamor, cruelly depicting the way we are capable of us-
ing cach other for our own gratification or needs. Fellini

hit hard.

On Thursday, Dec. 11, the film will be His Girl Fri-
day’’, a sophisticated comedy starring those two fine
portrayers of the genre, the late Cary Grant and
Rosalind Russell. Cary Grant’s recent death aroused in
many of us a nostalgia for these elegant portraits of
manners, We can indulge that nostalgia on Dec. 11,

The films are shown at the Caledonia Secondary
School Lecture Theatre at 7:30 p.m. ;
