PAVILION, SELSEY. Victor Hugo's drama of 15th Century Paris. "THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME" has captured the hearts of millions. The latest spectacular film version of the immortal story outlines the intrigue, passion, and cruelty of that colourful age. Spoken in English. but made completely in France, the film stars sultry Gina Lollobrigida as Esmeralda, The provocative gipsy, and Anthony Quinn as the hideous but pitiable hunchback, Quasimodo. An unusual and humorous story is told in "THERE'S ALWAYS A THURSDAY." which stars Charles Victor, Frances Day, Marjorie Rhodes and Jill Ireland. One of the starkest, most sensational and uncompromising novels of the last decade, Nelson Algren's "THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM," has been brought to the screen by Otto Preminger. Frank Sinatra is starred as Frankie Machine. "golden-armed dealer" and drug-addict: Eleanor Parker plays Zosh his embittered wheel-chair ridden wife: and Kim Novak is Molly, the voluptuous cabaret dancer of the novel. Millions throughout the world have laughed and laughed again at "doctor" films and books. Remember the fun of student days in "Doctor In The House" and the hilarity of "Doctor At Sea"? Now adroitly adapted from the virile pen of author Richard Gordon comes the third -and funniest- in the film series "DOCTOR AT LARGE". Back are the stars who made St Swithin's Hospital such a crazy antiseptic world. Once again Dirk Bogarde is Simon Sparrow, the handsome young doctor and victim of such bewildering mishaps.
