Guinness Great as Gulley in Own Version of Cary Novel
By Robert Harwi
A literary critic once described the characters of the late English novelist Joyce Cary as people who love the "good beef and beer of life ...people who are often scoundrels but always human and real."
Moviegoers who want to see what the critic meant should see Cary's "The Horse's Mouth" at the Varsity. The English film stars Alec Guinness, in his first outing since last year's great "The Bridge on the River Kwai." Guinness also wrote the script.
The alec is a comic masterpiece. Alec plays Gulley Jimson, a painter who is liar, thief, cad, boor and jail-bird. But he is a dreamer and a genius, too, and his numerous imperfections pale quickly when one sees the whole man.

But there is something driving Gulley. He wants to paint his one great masterpiece. And he has to have a huge canvas on which to place it—a wall, perhaps. So he takes over the fashionable London apartment of some friends who are on vacation. It has the wall he has always dreamed of. Soon the place is crawling with Gulley's friends.
He finishes his portrait after wrecking the apartment and then discovers he had not said what he wanted to say. A search for a second wall follows, then a second disappointment, and so on.
Gulley is such a seedy disreputable old wreck—and such a liar and cheat—that it is a wonder he has any friends at all. But he almost has to beat them off with a club.
The picture is filled with tremendous situations and striking

Guinness has been called the greatest film actor of them all. After his last two performances, that bit of praise seems more substantial than ever.
