"The Devil Within Her ”
By Charlotte A. Allen
the last decade or so has
brought about a new trend in
tie movie industry. Beginning
with “Rosemary’s Baby,” “The
Exorcist,” etc., the occult,
supernatural and demonic
possession has come forth to
amaze r entertain,frighten and
fascinate audiences across the
nation.
The latest of such movies is
of Peter Sasdy Film, written by
Stanley Price, “The Devil
Within Her.” Once again
demonic possession and
exorcism takes a front row seat,
this tin^e in the guise of a
twelve jxiund new-born baby
with Herculean strength.
The movie follows a similar
pattern of its predecesssors. As
the plot thickens, this infant
grows at a tremendous rate and
has the ability to leave his crib,
wreck his room, and kill his
nurse, father, doctor and
mother.
Of course his strength
comes from a demon, through a
curse placed on his mother’s
womb by a rejected-midget
suitor. The curse manifests
itself even before birth, as the
opening scene depicts the
agonizing delivery of the child,
that did not want to be bom.
The movie employs some
trick photography showing
fecial flashes of the baby with
the possessors face; as well a;
the face of the mother’s ex-lovet
who could have been the child’s
fether.
True to a posessec
person’s form, the intant made
utterance in an unknown tongue
as he killed some of his victims,
hereby giving further credibility
to his possession.

If you are looking for a good
laugh and a refreshing change
of pace, check out the latest
Walt Disney movie currently
showing in the Atlanta area.
The movie, “Black Beard’s
Ghost,” is a delightful ex
perience in movie viewing.
The inevitable Peter Ustinov
portrays the classical pirate who
visits the twentieth century after
spending 200 years under a
spell in Limbo.
Hie thunderous Captain Black
Beard upsets the whole town of
Goodowin, and sets the pace for
a hilarious movie.

acclaimed director in the world
of Disney, skillfully worked in
sensation, emotion and comedy
to make the movie one that can
appeal to viewers of all ages.

Inc., release and is based on the
book by Robert Stahl.
Aside from Ustinov, the movie
also starred Dean Jones and
Suzanne Pleshette. Costars are
Joby Baker and Elsa Man
chester.
As usual, although a bit
late, the exorcising nun fought
the wining battle with the devil
r> her effort to release the infant
from his possession.
Goodtimes Is
Vital
By Whitaker Howell
“Good Times” does more for
the advancement of Blacks in
this country than the Black
Panthers or the entire Nation of
Warn put together,” accordingi
to the president of the Society
for Cinema Studies.
Howard Suber, also a professor
cf film and television in the
UCLA Motion Picture Television
dvision, said in a recent issue of
“Television Quarterly” in an
aticle entitled “Televisions
Interchangeable Ethnics,” that
“while the militants threaten
destruction, television shows
that blacks are human beings of
dignity, humor and abiding
worth.
Suber feels that shows such as
“Sanford & Son,” “The Jef-
fffsons” and “Chico & the
Man” were in the top twenty of
Nelsen ratings, because a mass
aidience sees these Blacks and
Chicanos as being “like
themselves,” as human beings
everyone can “identify with.”
