SCHEMING CON artist J. Worthington Foulfellow (aka ‘‘Honest John’’) and his partner in crime,
Gideon, convince a trusting Pinocchio that an “actor's life’ is for him in Walt Disney's restored

animation classic Pinecchio.

Disney restores classic | |

Pinocchio * x * *& (Walt Disney) Rated G (at the Esplanade 6,
Park Royal, Capitol, Dunbar, Richmond Centre, Station Square,
Eagle Ridge, Guildford and Willowbrook cinemas)

ranks as one of the best.

You know the story. Blue Fairy
animates a wooden puppet for a
lonely woodcarver yearning for a
son. But the little timber-tot has to
prove his worth, fighting tempta-
tion and monstrous whales with a
cricket for a conscience.

Innovation and dazzle are ad--
mirable, but sometimes you just
want a good, straightforward

murder mystery, preferably British.

Who better than Agatha Christie?
The first features an excellent
Charles Laughton performance as

Tyrone Power on a murder

serves as a showcase for the late

There’s more mirth than mystery
