starring Dean Martin, Kim Novak.

When Dino, a pop singer with his mind set on the opposite sex, passes through the town of Climax, the local garage attendant sees a chance to interest the singer in his songs. His bait is the curvacious hostess of the local bar. Martin gives a monstrous, self-parodying portrait as the singer and Kim Novak is superbly cast in this wicked comedy.

To complete the Wilder season, a biting satire on the morality of big business. Lemmon stars as an insurance clerk seeking promotion by loaning out his apartment for his boss's extra-marital entertaining.

- starring
Anders Granstrom Christer Boustedt Described by Jazz
Journal as 'perhaps the best and most serious work about jazz ever presented on the screen', Stellan Olsson's film is unusual in that the actors play their instruments and two of them composed and arranged the score. It is based on the life of baritone sax player
Lars Gullin , portrayed in the film by alto saxman
Christer Boustedt. Sven Klang runs a dance band. They play at weddings and clubs and fancy themselves as musicians. Then Sven takes on a new alto player and they have to face their shortcomings.
Screenplay by HENRIC HOLMBERG and NINNE OLSSON Produced by PER BERGLUND Directed by STELLAN OLSSON
(Jazz Week continues tomorrow at 9.30 pm with Jazz at the Philharmonic)
