Well, Temples back in the
movie Of that name at the
Playhouse Theater.
In the performance Of Lee
Remick. she is not the morally
blowsy nymph, a Governors
daughter, Faulkner described
so luridly. Even in this day Of
wantonly candid cameras, nc
Hollywood moviemaker would
dare go that far. So, there's
poor Temple on the Playhouse
screen, dangling between. what
Faulkner said and what Pro-
ducer Richard zanuck wishes
he might say.
It could be of course that
young Zanuck is counting on
Sanctuary" selling on the basis
Of Temples old reputation as q
debutante who courted the
gamut Of fates worse than
death.
On the other hand, a large
segment Of the literate popula-
ton may well identify the film
as a parody Of a parody, q
nasty joke on Zanuck. Instead
of vice versa.

Save for this similarity, how
ever, they are s different as
pigs knuckles and plum pud-
ding. The difference, we re-
peat, is all in favor Of League
Of Gentlemen" which opens
tonight at the Macarthur
theater.
It is a crisp, jolly group Of
unfrocked military officers that
Jack Hawkins leads in a bril-
liantly conceived, and executed,
bank burglary in the Mac
Arthur film. Each of those in
volved Is a specialist. one in
the use of explosives, another
in electronics, a third in trans
port and so on. They are not
innocentS, as their courts mar
tial verdicts proved, but neither
are they mercenaries.
What each of them would
like is enough money. say one
hundred thousand pounds. to
live in his own idea Of comfort
like not having to sell porno-
graphic literature or being un-
able to support an attractive
mistress.
This is why Hawkins as
sembles his group, organizes
it as a staff of military experts
and sets about proving that
what they all learned in Worlc
War II is not wasted in this
euphemistic peace. One can
not go into the details Of how
this adventure progresses.
Indeed, why should one? Tit
interesting thing about it is it
spirit which is always gay, at
tractively self-mocking and s!
hypnotic in its charm that tht
spectator finds himself on th'
side of the culprits.
