You Only Live Twice-A just fair Bond
movie. By this time, the series vas
striving too hard for effect, and the tdtal
effect is pretty contrived. Also, the'
special effects for this were the worst in
the Bond series. Sean Connery looks
rather bored with it all.-CH
Thunderball-By far the worst of the
Bond series. The cameraman was allowed
to linger on the underwater scenes as if he
were Jacques Cousteau, and the result is
absolutely no suspense. Add to this a very
weak script, and you certainly don't have
much of a movie.-CH

Says the DTH cartoon "all the
' characters seem almost human," and
t indeed this is what 1 776 was most praised
; for when it opened. Many critics felt that
the show had portrayed our forefathers as
; real people instead of historical names. In
- elaboration, they especially noted the
' fact that the show touched on the sexual
; desires of those famous men.
In spite of this great theatrical
i breakthrough, I, for one, did not see any
real people on that stage. This play tries
to have it both ways. It pretends to be
showing the real man, and instead shows

Brewster McCloud-A tiresome piece of
fashionable cinema. Director Altman has
tried to top 'MASH" in the
outrageousness of his humor, but his
jokes are weak, and he repeats them over
and over. Moreover, the film seems edited
by a computer fed with last year's art
films. Strictly for pseudo-intellectuals.-G

a cartoon version, greatly simplified. The
character of Franklin, especially, is
written to get easy laughs by
manipulating our perceptions. As for his
sexual desires, the producers eliminated a
scene showing his rendezvous with a
young girl, when they found that it
"turned the audience right off."
The musical numbers are vaudeville
acts, and many of the characters are
simply gross caricatures, such as Richard
Henry Lee. This is a cheapened history
lesson for the masses, and uses our
sketchy knowledge to get a laugh out of a
line to John Hancock, 'That's a might big

Five Easy Pieces This picture cannot be
called a total success, because many of its
potential for something more can be seen
in the best number, "Mollasses to Rum."
Here the electricity of real drama and real
theatre was turned on, and by its
excellence, it accused the rest of the show
of pandering.
Nevertheless, if one is willing to turn
most of his brain off, the show can be
very entertaining, if somehow suggesting
a certain tastelessness. The Broadway
version was a model of high-kicking
exuberance, and the style was totally
cartoon. Every number was performed to
be a show-stopper and every line was
driven into the audience. Though hardly
high dramatic art, it was good fun.

The day was hot. The Italian sun beat
down on the two men with the intensity
of a blast from a furnace. Standing in the
courtyard, of a lavish Roman villa, they
spoke to each other, at first softly, then
in voices rising to a shrill crescendo. When
they had finished, a short, stocky man
who had been listening with fierce
concentration spoke: "Let's, do if-once

scenes just do not come off. especially in
first half-hour. When the scenes do
work, it is partly because of some good
casting in small roles, and some good
scripting, but mostly because of the
acting of Jack Nicholson, giving the
definitive portrayal of an empty sheU of a
raan. This is one of the great screen
performances. Though drastically uneven
and deeply flawed, the movie seems
rather fine. Above all, Nicholson should
not be missed. G

The production that reached us was
much more subdued, and this was not all
to the good. The show went along in a
naturalistic manner for the talk, and
unfortunately revealed how talky the talk
was. Then a musical number came and it
was vaudeville time again. This gave the
show a positively schizophrenic air.
It tried to blend straight play style
into a pretty conventional musical, and
the sight of those men who had been
debating so earnestly, tripping around the
stage singing "La, la, la" became a bit
silly. Also, too many of the numbers were
performed without that certain burst of
elsewhere. If found, call 966-5047.

never less than professional, in the best
sense of that word, it never really caught
fire, and the play in the end seemed
rather ponderous.
The actors were a mixed bag. There
were so many cast changes th3t it is
impossible to tell who played what roles.
I must therefore identify them by their
character names.
