CINEMA

I'D RATHER BE RICH. In one of the sea son's liveliest comedy sleepers, Sandra Dee gets hilarious support from two wide-awake oldtimers, Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold, and a pair of vigorous movie newcomers, Robert Goulet and Andy Williams.

RHINO! is a brilliantly scenic safari that combines the usual African flora and fauna with highly entertaining melodrama and a sharp sense of fun.

SEDUCED AND ABANDONED. A maiden ventures down the primrose path and stumbles over brutal Sicilian social codes in Director Pietro Germi's savage tragicomedy, which is more biting but perhaps a bit less bubbly than his memorable Divorce—Italian Style.

ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS. Science fiction and scientific fact plausibly commingle in this stimulating attempt to imagine the problems of an astronaut who is spaceship-wrecked on Mars.

GIRL WITH GREEN EYES. Rita Tushingham is a young English actress with charm and talent to burn, and in this story of a shopgirl's passion for a middle-aged author, they give a lovely light.

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. The Beatles are here, they are really much more intelligent than they look, and this is the trample-proof way to see them.

THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA. Director John Huston, with his customary competence, has turned Tennessee Williams' morbidly amusing play into a morbidly amusing picture. Deborah Kerr and Ava Gardner perform with skill; Richard Burton plays with style.

THAT MAN FROM RIO. A wild and wacky travesty of the average film thriller, directed with way-out wit by France's Philippe de Broca (The Five-Day Lover), and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo.

A SHOT IN THE DARK. As a bumbling police inspector, Peter Sellers pursues a seductive murder suspect (Elke Sommer) from corpse to corpse.
