us from something' typically American to something which Is vCry English, And even those who shudder , at the very thought of a week of regimented fun | cannot fall tq agree that as an entertain­ ment medium ' It has boundless possibilities. Sydney Box ]at least Is well aware-of them,'arid both he and- director Ken Anriakln have exploited! them to the full. The result Is an extremely well- made, entertaining 'film! which describes the adventures of a Widely assorted bunch of j holiday campers durlrig one • j week's vacation. A; njurderer Is ran to earth, a girl finds which]man Is best for her, a young woman finds romance with a Jilted sailor, a middle-aged woman find slori and one! girl finds, death.

takes us back wheVe we started— to something which Is typically American. Not as Its title sug­ gests to another of those tedious- musicals built around one' frail, popular song, I but to something that Hollywood makes really well —tho gangster thriller. This; one has a night club setting and con­ cerns the activities' of a gang' of' exrfabkete'ers led by 'Burt Lan­ caster. Mr, ; Lancaster returns from 14 years'penal servitude for a shooting affray In the Prohibi­ tion era, seeks out hla partner, Kirk Douglas,; owner of a lavish night spot, and Justifiably demands bis share of the proceeds. But Mr. Douglas has other ideas, although they .don't get him very far In .the end. Llzabeth Scott turns out to be adequate compen­ sation, even for 14 years In,gaol. “ South American George,)’ re­
