GM aln9 pn wer felly deplets post-Vietnam life
Who'll Stop the Rain probably will
shatter some American's illusions that the
horrors of the Vietnam War ended when
the final retreat was sounded, and our
boys began to come home. This movie
will not let you believe it, and, as a matter
of fact, it will batter and bruise your
sensibilities into believing the horrors of
the war can be just as real back in the
States as they were in the rice paddies of
Vietnam. ,
The battlefields of Vietnam are seen
only in the first five minutes, as a fire
bombing raid destroys an American
artillery base and leaves mounds of
charred bodies to be buried. But the
effects of this scene are constantly
suggested in the actions and emotions of
the characters
John Converse (Michael Moriarty), a
disillusioned war correspondent, emerges
from this gruesome opening scene and
decides somehow to get back at the world
by smuggling two kilos of heroin back to
the United States. He enlists the aid of his
ex-Marine buddy Ray Hicks (Nick
Nolte), a brooding malcontent who is
angry at the world and himself. -
John reacts indifferently to his
experiences. His decisio.n to enter the
smuggling ring throwshimand his family

T; -ico is where dreams live It is
the sweet rhythm of the imagination,
where I turn my fantasies into poetry and
poetry into music," Gato Barbieri says.
The Argentine tenor saxophonist has
turned his poetry into excellent music on
his new release, Tropica. Barbieri is back
at his best and has more than made up for
the rock-bottom effort of his previous
album Ruby, Ruby.
Barbierfs new release has variety,
which is good for a change of pace, The
romantic piece "She Is Michelle.",
dedicated to his wife, is just one example.
Incidentally, Mrs. Barbieri was
associate producer with David Rubinson
on the album.
Another good cut, "Where Is The
Love?" by percussionist Ralph
MacDohald, is a fine mellow tune with

this with nrnoressively less emotion.
Michael Moriarty 'gives a strong
performance as this man who seems to be
experiencing death in life. He moves
across the screen with listless, mechanical
motions and prevents any hint of emotion
from escaping. : ;
: Nick Nolte, on the other hand, gives a
powerful, vigorous performance as a man
who is angry at the world and is bent on
destrovinu the iirr of his hatred. '
Marge (Tuesday Weld) is John's wife
and the object of Ray Hick's loyalty and
love, the only positive things that remain
in the hero's life. Hick's dedicates what is
left of his life to preserving these id.eals:

who has totally refused to fight for his
wife or even his life: .;

explain the character's real motivations
(besides blaming the war), along with a
lew details like is the so-called federal
investigator Antheil (Anthony Zerbe)
really a law-enforcement agent or is he a
member of the underworld.
Also, the ending provided b the
writers fails to be completely consistent
with the thematic development. Alter
watching the spectacular climax, full of
violence and hatred, the peaceful ending
may raise serious quest ions in t he viewer's
mind.
However, the movie leaves a far more
important question to be wrestled with:
How could we ignore the psychologically

Feldman fails again
Think Dirty. M arty K'ldman's satirica!
roast of the advertising world, crosses t he
fine line between comedy and nonsense.
The film casts Feldman in the role of an
ad-man with the .unfortunate task of
making porridge appealing by giving it a
sexy image. Unfortunately.' he never
attempts to do the same with this movie.
. With more physical comedy than one's
likely to find on an intramural football
field and a score of slapstick stunts.
Feldman only succeeds at insulting his
audience's intelligence. Nearly as
insulting are the performances of Shelley
Berman as the boss and Judy Cornwell as
Feldman's wife. Berman. who
brainstormed the "sexy porridge" idea,
comes off as a repulsive swinger, while
Cornwell. ironically, plays a feeble
crusader against television's moral
decadence.
Think Dirty might well have been a fun.
