"Carrington YC" will

only be showing for a few days at the Roxy and Broadway, so if you intend not to miss this excellent British picture, don't bank on the long run that is usual at these cinemas.

Don't be put off either by the fact that almost the entire Alm takes place at the court martial of the major. There are some hilarious wenes during the trial, in spite of its serious nature and the story is unfolded, I'm happy to say, without the hash- backs that cafi be so fatal to continuity.

David Niven, in the role of the major on trial, has a part in which he is perfectly at home,

Harrowing

At long lust Susan Hay- ward has become an actress. After several false starta and poor vehicles she has at length been given a role in which to sink her pretty teeth and she has seized the bit with confidence.

"TI Cry Tomorrow" is the sad story of the downfall of the singer and actress Lalitan Roth as related first by her in the very popular American TV show This Is Your Life" and later in her book "I'll Cry Tomorrow."

Macbeth (1956),

The modern type of gang. ster had nothing on those of Shakespeare, and in "Joe Macbeth", the film makers have gone back to the Bard for their plot.

Paul Douglas is well content to be the number two of a gang until his wife, played by Ruth Roman, Iete her ambitious thoughts wander in the direction of the kingship.

The leader of the gang at the time the aim opens has dropped into his place by having elimin-. ated the previous occupant. Lily whispers in her husband's ent that if he in turn disappeared, there would be nothing to stop

One murder follows another after this with Mr Macboth liberally applying the perfumes. of the Rue de la Paix to sweeten her bloodstadtied claws. I'm not surprised that her mind gradual ly becomes deranged by the gore. There were just too many mur. ders for me too.

Paul Douglas is expellent us the slowly disintegrating gangster and this modern, tale of power without glory closely follows lis 16th century predecessor to hiủa inevitable doom, Bonar Colleand. who has been such a likable chap in many British films, sheds his bonhomie for villainy too, `and makes a good job of it.

Ruth Roman's acting isn't up to the standard of the rest, but 19's almost a relief to find a fiaw in all this spine chilling cold bloodedness,
