THE SCREEN

By Richard Turner

Bonnie and Clyde. The first film of the Harvard holiday camp season comes under the auspices of "Summer School Flicks," which is a better title than "Music 2001," certainly, and the less said about "Laugh Riot II" the better. The Science Center is a sterile, nursery, school place to watch a movie, and they tend to bark orders out of loudspeakers about food, tobacco and such things, but the screen is pretty big. The choice of features is a great one, though, back from the good old days when Pauline Kael's proficiency and reputation as grande dame of film criticism was at a higher level than today. Everybody panned Bonnie and Clyde, Kael came out and gave it a rave, and one by one, gradually, the critics changed their line. Maybe by some freak of nature one of the rare black-and-white prints will appear for this showing--the period stuff looks much better in two colors. Directed by Arthur Penn, with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
