...Bogey was revived, but last year, we witnessed the resurrection of another escape. Literally dusting off an old can of film, the Brattle lifted "The Batman" out of a celluloid cemetery. Shortly thereafter, someone in film-land (who undoubtedly had read the Time article about camp) spliced this 1943 serial into a four-hour-and-eight-minute feature. Needless to say, the show was a smash in a number of midwestern college towns. Hence, it was with a sizable dollop of trepidation that we sat down Wednesday evening to watch the first episode of "Batman," TV's predictable next step...
...today outdraws Dr. Strangelove, outclocks Gone With the Wind, and breaks all known records for popcorn sales? It's not a bird or a plane but, of all things, Batman. The 1939 comic-strip creation of Bob Kane, which Columbia Pictures filmed in 1943 as a 15-episode serial, has now been spliced, end to end, to produce a 248-minute marathon of fist fights, zombies and ravenous alligators. Last week it was packing the house at an off-campus theater near the University of Illinois, and Columbia plans similar orgies in 20 major cities...
...Indians added insult to upset three minutes later when Beard hit end Bill Calhoun on a 79-yard pass-run play, the longest serial touchdown in Dartmouth history. In all, Beard connected on 12 of 17 passes for 229 yards and added 20 more on the ground...
Smith's dialogue smacks of a vintage Saturday-afternoon serial, but his fears are well grounded. A kidnaped professor possesses a secret formula for distilling the lethal essence of the Black Hill Poppy from Tibet ("A pint can kill every living thing in London"). Fu's evil daughter (Tsai Chin) seizes the professor's daughter as hostage and undertakes the dirty deeds formerly assigned to such exotics as Anna May Wong and Myrna Loy. There are vestiges of the old potency in the farfetched fights, a sinister drowning apparatus in a hideout below the Thames, the mass...
Without a good serial attack and without the ability to run through Princeton's rugged defensive line, Harvard will probably be shut out. If Charley Gogolak had a broken leg, one could pray for a scoreless lie. But he's healthy, unfortunately, so the only question surrounding today's game seems to be how much Princeton can roll up the score. Our guess is that two touchdown passes by Landeck and three field goals by Gogolak will give Princeton a 23-0 victory.Don Sadoski (43) is blocked by teammate (mercifully unidentifiable) and falls easy prey to a Penn tackier...
