WHITBY FREE PRESS. Thursdav. June 1, 1972, Page 3 en te ta1zmeit The guide. - At Whitby's Brock Theatre Return of 007 Mammoth, fantastic sets, so long a characteristic of a James Bond thril- I e r , a r e once again in evidence for "Di arm on d s Are Forever"' starring S e a n Connery as Eond. The pi cture o p e n i n g tonight (Thursday, June 1) will play a fullweek at Whitby's down- town Brock Theatre, through release by United Artists. One of the stages for the film -- no less than four were taken over by the production - was transformed into the luxurious penthouse suite of a recluse billionaire industrialist. Highlighting s t a i n Iess steel and oozing an air of sterility, it is a combination of ultra- modern and the medieval with its 17th c e n t u r y refectory table contrasting del iberately with the displays of futur- istic ballistic missile exhibits. In "Diamonds Are Forever'", Bond andTiffany Case (Jill St. John) enjoy an amourous encounter on a plastic waterbedfilled with some 3, 000 trop- i c a 1 f i s h ! The bed, 7 by 6 feet in d i a m e t e r , is featured in the bridal suiteof a Las Vegas hotel where Tif- fany finally deduces that her lover is the famous 007. T h e P&O I u xury 1liner, the Can- a b e r ra, came out of a Southhampton Stratford: 20 Years S UND A Y AT N1IN E (c) Stratford: T w e n t y Years Young. The exci ting story of Canada's worl d-famous Strat- ford Festival, past, present and fu- ture, on the eve of the opening of its 20th season at Stratford, Ont. , on the banks of the Avon. With William Hutt as host-narrator, the c o I o r f i I m s (s hot during the past year) presents a mosiac of people and events, using footage f r o m the past, intermingled with new footage, interviews and scenes of the theatre and the town as they a r e today. Hutt a major star of the Stratford Festival, links scenes w h i c h include performances of last season and other seasons, conducting t h e v i e w e r from the revolutionary thrust stage and its enveloping aud- itorium to scenes of the past, back to the Festivalls first season in 1953. Its excitement is recreated in scenes f ea tur i ng the late Tyrone Guthrie, the founding artistic director, founder Tom Patterson, ans star Alec Guin- ness. The film also offers nostalgic r e m i n iscences and comments on the Stratford experience by Jul ie Harris, Christopher Plummer, AI an Bates Kate Reid, some of the many stars of the Festival. Si r Alec Guinness is a 1 s o se en in a rare interview with which he recalls that first season; as does Tyrone Guthrie in an interview Young f i I me d shortly before his death; and t h e a t r i c al designer Tanya Moisei- w i t s ch, whose design for the thrust stage and seating p I an has been re- produced in other theatres, including the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minne- apolis, the Chichester Festival and Sheffield's Crucible Theatre in Eng- land - all of which are seen in doc- umentary. Other prominent members of the Stratford scene in the film are: Michael Langham, who took over as artistic director after Guthrie; Jean Gascon, present a r t i s t i c director; Lou Applebaum, first musical director of t h e Festival; and two of this sea- son's (1972) imported stars, Nicholas Pennell and Carole Shelley.
