Shows Films
Cinema Limited is showing
“School for Scoundrels” and “Sea¬
wards the Great Ships” Saturday
night at 8:15 in Sexson Audito¬
rium.
Single admissions are $1.25 for
adults and $1 for students. Sea¬
son tickets may be purchased for
$5 through Cinema Limited.
The English film, “School for
Scoundrels,” stars Ian Carmich¬
ael, Alastair Sim, and Terry-
Thomas. It is the story of the pro¬
totype of all decent, bumbling pos¬
sessors of inferiority complexes.
He is duped and victimized by
waiters and taxi drivers, cheated
by salesmen and made to look
foolish whichever way he turns
(usually by Terry-Thomas).
When he sees an ad for the
“College of Lifemanship” he is off
to the “college” and a course un¬
der “Professor” S Potter (Alas¬
tair Sim).
“School for Scoundrels” or
“How to Win Without Actually
Cheating” takes a sly poke at ac¬
ceptable practices of “successful”
social behavior. It is based on
a series of books by British hu¬
morist Stephen Potter.
“Seawards the Great Ships” is
a documentary that depicts the
drama of the shipwards and the
miracle of steel being transform¬
ed. It won an Academy award
(best short subject) in 1962 and
received the Diploma of Honor
at the 1962 Venice Film Festival.
