Starring James Cagney, Bette Davis, Jack Carson

The first film in this James Cagney double-bill stars Cagney as pilot Steve Collins, who is hired to fly eloping heiress Joan Winfield away with her bandleader boy-friend. He then hits on the idea of saving his failing air charter business by delivering her, unwed, to her angry father, C.O.D. Cagney and Bette Davis both reveal a flair for slapstick comedy in this, their last screen appearance together.

starring Richard Attenborough, Amjad Khan
A selection of foreign films of the last three years begins tonight with Satyajit Ray's delicate and compassionate treatment of the annexation of the state of Oudh by the British. Counterpointing this inglorious incident is the continuing duel of two chess-playing noblemen, sublimely oblivious of political and private turmoil in their obsession for the game.
A masterly, fascinating, intricate movie (DAILY MAIL)
