THE SCREEN

Triumph of the Will. Last weekend a friend of mine sitting in on this at the midnight show, sometime between the time when Rudolph Hess speaks and when der Fuehrer ascends the rostrum. Two young men in platforms lounging in front of him. One turns to the other "I don't mind the Nazi killing millions of people, but boring me for hours..." At the Orson Welles.

llsa. More about it. "My name is llsa. I turned my lovers into lampshades." "The most dreaded Nazi of them all." The radio ads are said to feature a cracking whip--screams and moans in the background. Stern warning posters outside the theater (I happened to walk by--honestly) bidding audiences to beware, and that the cinema will not supply refunds for those with weak stomachs. "X-rated for violence."

Politics of Conspiracy. This is a three-day national conference on assassination theory, and it includes some movies. Also lectures, seminars, and experts like former New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, Mark Lane (Oswald's lawyer who made the film Rush to Judgment with Emilio de Antonio), the screenwriter for Executive Action, Donald Freed, and Theodore Charach who made The Second Gun and knows more about the JFK killing than practically anyone. At B.U. For details call the Cambridge Assassination Information Bureau, 661-8411.

Costa Gavras, the creator of Z and State of Siege also made a film called The Confession about the Slansky trials (Czech purge trials) in the late forties. With Yves Montand. This is the beginning of a C-G series at B.U.'s Hayden Hall. Tonight at 7:30.

The Last Detail. Jack Nicholson turning dirty words into poetry.

King of Hearts. The Central Cinema has issued a release claiming that as this flimsy, forgettable, escapist wisp of a movie enters its fifth year it becomes the world's longest running picture in one theater. The Guiness Book of World Records, however, reported in 1969 that a theater in Egypt had been showing Me Tarzan, You Jane since September, 1949. So there.
