Rating:

A film that has all the ingredients necessary to "make" a picturo—is now at the Queen's and Alhambra Theatres with the screening of Warner Brothers' "Young Man With A Horn." A musical with a different twist-it tries its hand fairly successfully at heavy drama-the film 'stars that rising light on the Hollywood hori- zon, Kirk Douglas, and co-stars Lauren Bacall and Doris Day.

HK at the King's

Rating:

Even though we personally don't agree with the title, "The Perfect Woman," now at the King's Theatre, is very enjoyable British comedy with some novel twists thrown in. The Two Cities film sets out with the conviction that there 15 a perfect woman and maybe the film is right at that, come to think of it: The woman in question is a robot, made by a scientist.

She obeys a few simple words | of command (she must be a robot), can't talk (which makes us doubt she is a woman), cater sleep-arul only shows violent emotion if the word "love" is mentioned.

"The Perfect Woman" Is based on a stage comedy of the same name that, had a very long run in London.

Patricia Roc plays the part of the Professor's lovely niece, Nigel Patrick is the young man hired to take the robot woman out. and Stanley Holloway is his he- wildered valet.

The ilm bas plenty of sparkle and should please the majority of local cinemagoers.

Report on HK

Co-showing with "The Perfect: Woman" at the King's is "Repor On Hong Kong" produer by "This Modern Age.".

An interesting documentary, the Report deals with the Colsay and her problems in the light of an explosive world situation. It shows scenes of Hong Kong's darker side-slum Dad squatter districts and explains the Colony's position as the bulwark of the West In a sea of Com- munism.
