School children will be well catered for by the city cinemas during the May holidays with a wide selection of movies. These will include the return of the Disney classic, “Lady and the Tramp” (Carlton), John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John together again in “Two of a Kind” (Savoy), Trevor Howard as a wise, old Indian in “Windwalker” (Westend), Francis Ford Coppola’s production about angry youth, “The Outsiders” (Cinerama), beef hamming it up as “Hercules” (Regent), Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill in “Go For It” (Avon), and a
two-week rock film festival at the Midcity. ABOVE: After their smash success with “Grease” five years ago, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have teamed up again in “Two of a Kind” as a pair of star-matched lovers in whose unlikely hands rests the fate of the world. The film also stars Oliver Reed and Scatman Crothers. ABOVE RIGHT: Considered one of Walt Disney’s great animated films, “Lady and the Tramp” is filled with a cuddly collection of canine characters. Lady meets Tramp, from the
other side of the tracks, and their adventures include dinner at an Italian restaurant, a night at the dog pound and an encounter with two calculating Siamese cats. BELOW LEFT: Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer star in their seventeenth boisterous adventure together in “Go For It.” As audiences have come to expect, this involves the troublesome duo in intrigue and mayhem, any number of fist fights, car chases and death-defy-ing stunts. The action is set in Florida. BELOW: Trevor Howard stars as “Windwalker.” Ac-
claimed as excellent family entertainment, the film tells of an old Cheyenne warrior who is left to die on his burial scaffold, but who gains a reprieve from the Great Spirit when his grieving family is attacked by a party of Crow warriors.
