Area groups brighten
Lincoln entertainment
This is not a lively weekend as far as Lincoln's entertainment
goes. No major acts are in town, although some of the better
regional groups are to be found.
1116 ,Z?? fftures Home Cookin', purveying their particular
jazz-rock blend for all comers with a 50 cent cover charge John
Walker and Pete Blakeslee, meanwhile, are putting in a stint at St
George & The Dragon and Cliffs Lounge offers Friends a'
guitar-pop-folk group who do not seem to appear as often as their
audiences would like.
The Rendezvous, 56th and Comhusker, is featuring Patchwork
who reportedly put on a well-polished performance. For those who
have the irresistible urge to dance, the Royal Grove offers local
powermen Steele Avenue.
The Colonnades Dinner Theater's production of Murray
Schisgal's Luv is coming to an end, with final performances tonight
and Saturday, with dinner served from 6:30 p.m. and the play
starting at 8 p.m.
New or re-released movies in town this weekend include:
Chinatown, loaded to the scuppers with Oscar nominations, at the
Plaza 3; The Dragon Dies Hard, another compilation of obscure
footage of the late Bruce Lee: at the Plaza 2; Turkish Delight, a
medium-core Dutch Love Story playing in tandem with Oh!
Calcutta! at the Cinema 1; and Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
plus the Marx Bros' Horsefeathers at the Hollywood & Vine.
Sheldon to feature
Sunday film premier
Two movie presentations are on hand this week at the Sheldon
Film Theater.
Friday and Saturday the Women in Film Series will show
Douglas Sirk's Tliere's Always Tomorrow (1956) and on Sunday a
special Lincoln premier showing of John Cassavetes' A Woman
Under the Influence will be held.
There's Always Tomorrow stars Fred MacMurray as a man
caught in a love triangle with his wife (Joan Bennett and a former
lover (Barbara Stanwyck). It is a 1950s women's weeper directed '
by Sirk, a little renowned filmmaker who has become a favorite of
critics largely because of his ability to operate with a continuing
excellence within the confines of the cheap Universal B pictures on
which he worked.
In There's Always Tomorrow, according to Women in Film
Series coordinator Molly Haskell, "Sirk makes a devastating
critique of the nuclear family."
A Woman Under the Influence is the latest from John
Cassavetes, the only American filmmaker to emerge from the
underground to become a critically acclaimed mainstream director.
The film has been nominated for several Academy
Awards-Cassavetes for best director and star Gena Rowlands
(Cassavetes' wife) for best actress. Rowlands has won wide acclaim
in her role as a psychologically unpredictable woman whose
husband (Peter Falk) decides to have her put away.
There's Always Tomorrow will be shown Friday and Saturday
at 3, 7 and 9 p.m. Admission is $1.25. A Woman Under the
Influence will be shown Sunday only at 7 p.m. Admission is $2.00.
