There are two hours and ten

Louis Jourdan plays the title
role in this new French screen
transcript of THE Story of the
Count Of Monte Cristo" and it
probably is an excellent per-
Torrance. 1t looks like one.
That voice clubbing. though, is
a distraction that no actor can
counteract. The same is true
here of Yvonne Furnea
Pierre Mondy, Bernard Dheran
Jean-Claude Michel, Franco
Silva and the others. They
open their mouths and the
strangest things happen on the
sound track.
This, incidentally, may be an
insurmountable problem. More
than matching sound to lip
movement is involved; it's a
matter Of matching language
with the entire mien of an ac-
tor. He may for instance, wave
his arms wildly and say some
thing in his native tongue that
sounds as If 1t fits the action,
even If you can't understand
it. Let him wave his arms en-
phatically and say, in English,
Maybe you'd like a glass Of

lous. The romantic melodrama
Of Pere Dumas day is ridicu-
lous enough as it stands, with
out giving it an additional
push.

the Count Of Monte Cristo"
and you'll find it at the Metro
politan and Ambassador thea
tiers.
1t has been % years since
this overripe romantic melo-
drama by Alexandra Dumas
(pere) has been filmed, so its
producers may be correct in
assuming that a whole new au-
dience is available for it. They
may, Of course, encounter less
than enthusiasm for it on the
part of new moviegoers whose
literary appetites have been
stated by Mad magazine.
For all its first rate acting
and its excellent photography
in Technicolor and Dyaliscope
this is a ponderous and stilted
affair too much Of the time.
It's a grandfather of soap OPP
eras and looks it. 1t is not
helped, either, by the dubbed
English dialogue, which gives
the voices a disembodied sound,
no matter how weH the French
lip movements are matched.
-
If you remember the original
on printed page or the earlier
screen version, however, you
may get a bang out of re-
visiting the trials Of Edmond
Dantes. Never, well hardly ever,
was there man who suffered SO
much. Never, surely. was there
man with more just cause for
devoting himself coldly to ret
ribution.
The French film details al
most all of it, if somewhat
sketchily, from Dantes' impris-
onment on false charges
through his escape and cam
paign Of revenge on those who
wronged him. It is an incredi-
BILE tale, even more so in the
literal pictorial language of
film, but Dumas the elder was
a story-teller who could pen a
rich scene. If you go along
with it. you can find it fun.
It is a rare moment, for in
stance, when Dantes, escaped
from prison by taking a
corpse's place in a canvas sack,
seeks the police informer who
helped put him there and cold
ly taunts the man into at
tempting murder.
Then there is the scene when
DanteS, now rich on that pi- |
rate booty and masouerading |
as the Count of Monte Cristo,
comes face to face with Mer-
cedes, the fiancee who married
the man who professed to be
his best friend. Seventeen years
have passed and he has a
fringe of beard a half inch
longer than five O'Clock shadow
on his chin, so obviously she
does not recognize him. They
spar verbally a few minutes,
then he says, apropos of some
thing or other, Nothing on
earth can ever come between
us"
These are the very words he
said back there when he re-
nounced the sea for love of her
and slipped q ring on her fin
ger. Her eyes saucer. she staresI
at him anG he walks out the
door. They don't write many
scenes like this any moro.
80
There is the tense scene
when the purported friend who
has conspired against Dantes
and wed his girl friend is con-
fronted with the daughter of
the pasha he murdered. You
say you never saw me before,
she says dramatically before
the assembled House Of Peers,
but if YOU will roll up your
right sleeve we all will see the
scar I know is there. rantes

Wildcat Wei Stirs Excitement

Excitement that accompan-
les any major oil strike is
everywhere in Sidney and
Richland County.
And there is good reason to
be excited with the strike
made last Wednesday by the
McAlester Fuel CO. of Nc
Alester, Okla. The strike was
important enough for the
Montana Oil Journal to re-
gard the Devonian oil discov-
cry Northwest of Sidney as
the most important oil de-
velopment in 10 years in the
Williston Basin.

mile radius, the well is located on
land owned by Alfred Gunderson
with mineral rights owned Dv
Northern Pacific Railroad.
Robert Scott, production engin-
eer, said the Red River formation
was the original objective OF the
well.
Six drill stem tests were RIM
and each showed a slight sign of
oil. The seventh drill stem test
was called "a real good one" bv
Scott. This is when the testing tool
was closed. AT the point when q
stands of pipe had been pulled
from the hole there was a notice
able amount of pressure from
Within.
The excitement began when
the crew was Gaping after re-
