his repentant son with a feast or
the fatted calf. This meal Is
memorable as It is served in the
manner of a modern Western
barbecue.
Production wise this film
makes “Quo Vadla” look like a
low budget Republican western.
"The Piodigal" has 11.000 prop
erties, 4000 costumes. 400.000
square feet of outdoor sets, four
of the worlds largest Indoor
sound stages, multitudes of act
ors, and extraordinary mnke-up
including Lana Turner's nails be
ing painted with 22-carat gold
leaf.
Balance at the Kev
"Mr. Hulot's Holiday." which
is mostly pantomime, and “Tony
Draws a Horse," which is all
talk, now at the Rex, is a per
fectly balanced program. Mr.
Hulot spends a delightful and
eventful summer in a French re
sort, without speaking a word.
All of the other guests arc skill
ful caricatures of resort dwell
ers.
A lady psychiatrist is the cen
ter of "Tony Draws a Horse." j
This lady goes on a "self-expres
sion binge” to France with her
sister's future husband. The psy
chiatrist's jilted husband fumes,
her mother is flabergasted. her
sister is heart-broken, her grand
father continues to drink and
eat, and her son draws nasty
pictures.
In addition her father gets
drunk and is arrested. This
simple plot is unfolded in a typ
ically English manner. Both of
these English films are excellent
entertainment.
