JAMES Dill I n v 'Dill HIC! ICNII' MOVIES This year the trend has been toward long movies, most of them lasting over two and one half hours. The King and I made a hit with everyone-no one will ever forget the colorful scenes or the beautiful music. Yul Brynner made a hit in both this movie and in Anastasia, not only with his talent, but also with his famous Bald Hair Style. Giant, a story of Texas, all-star includ- ing james Dean, was another sensation. War and Peace was a truly stupen- dous production of the Tolstoy novel. Lust for Life,' another favorite, was filled with color, as it told Van Gogh's' life and showed the actual paintings. Friendly Persuasion was a Quaker story that touched the hearts of everyone who saw it. Of special interest to teenagers were The Young Stranger, and Rock, Pretty Baby.
