T'V Opinions on Current Productions Feature reviews color; © Cinemascope; ® Ponovision; CD Techniramo; ® story fynopiii ® © Bros. (304) 133 Minutes Rel. Mar. '74 Musicals are few and far between on the screen and I;, as lavish as Warners' presentation, in association '- American Broadcasting Companies, of the Broadway '.iôiJ are even rarer. Producers Robert Pi-yer and James an and director Gene Saks have spared little expense bringing the musical adventures of the female Pied to the screen. Lucille Ball and Beatrice Arthur, arred with Robert Preston, can count upon their ions of TV fans to help support the film, which is rently breaking records at Radio City Music Hall. Miss in particular has been plugging "Mame" very heavily deserves an award for endm-ance and character. Her that her singing and dancing aren't necessarily best should help endear the comedienne to audiences vhere. Screenplay by Paul Zindel, from the Jerome jnce-Robert E. Lee-Jerry Herman musical, was based illy on Patrick Dennis' novel and has previously seen as a straight play and a 1958 "Warners' film Rosalind Russell. Herman wrote the songs, numbers choreogi-aphed by Onna White. Definitely not a s' film, this is solely an old-fashioned audiencemovie. Panavision and Technicolor. Ball, Robert Preston, Beatrice Arthur, Bruce Davison, Joyce Van Patten, Kirby Furlong. WIN' MOLLY m "^^ ibia (012) 92 Minutes Rel. Mar. '74 ifriter Larry McMurtry certainly knows Texas and novels from which "Hud" and "The Last Pictui-e ' were made were stamped with artistic and comil success. McMui'try's 1963 novel "Leaving Cheywas the basis for Stephen Friedman's screenplay "liOVin' Molly," produced by Friedman and directed by ey Lumet on location in Bastrop, Texas. The new may be considered an artistic success—at least in quarters—but commercially, it won't rival the pretwo productions. Stars Elythe Danner, Anthony and Beau Bridges age some 40 years as a freeited gii'l and the men who love her and yet remain friends. There are fine performances and outstandscenes—the birth of a calf, Edward Biiuis' fatherly ^.^) with Perkins—^but with a feeling that something ing. It was decided not to use three sets of actors three eras depicted— each narrated from the viewit of one of the leads—and makeup suggests the aging 1 effectively. Miss Danner, an actress who will probreceive a lot of good notices from this, gets the from the part of a woman who lives for love and two nude bits. The film is the kind that can build a imderground following. thony Perkins, Blythe Danner, Beau Bridges, Edward Binns, Susan Sarandon, Conard Fowkes. IAT MAN IS PREGNANT! Mishldn 85 Minutes pr; Modern Sex Satire © Rel. May '74 I^Gold Medal winner at the Atlanta International Film il, this August Films production, listing Lewis tin (son of Mishkin Films president William Mishi, Richard Messina and Jerome Tiuk as executive cers, is bound to create considerable response, parrly among the young adult crowd across the couniThe shooting script, credited to leading man William eilly and Simon Nuchtern (the latter was dii-ector " o co-produced with Jean Luc BotboD , is sharply 1, spinning out the misadventm'es of a harried York detective turned down on marriage proposals rl friend Anita Morris, long a Women's Lib advocate, to find himself suddenly subjected to laboratory lentation by scientist Lilly Lessing and eventually birth to a baby, much to the consternation of the en's Lib faction. This is the kind of high comedy ading on-their-toes delineations and, to a manwoman—the cast is credible. Significantly, there is "ity or real sex (hence, the PG rating i. and the Jtion possibilities seem limitless. Percy Simon has moving moments as a notorious bathroom graffiti Mishkin has something strong, strong indeed! C. Reilly, Anita Morris, Lilly Lessing. Sloane Shelton, Matthew Lewis, Percy Simon. TiiEsiri:Rcoi's m c^"'- United Artists—MOM (7415) 94 Minutes Rel. Mar. '74 Cops and robbers thrillers have achieved a high degree of realism in recent releases, making Gordon Parks' comic approach to the subject something out of the ordinary. The real life exploits of Brooklyn detectives Dave Greenberg and Bob Hantz earned them the nicknames Batman and Robin. They play detectives in the film, while Ron Leibman and David Selby assume their roles. Based on the book by L. H. Whittemore, the screenplay was written by Lorenzo Semple jr.—who, not so coincidentally, wrote scripts for the "Batman series. In " line with the daring duo's derring-do, director Parks has seen to it that the violence isn't overdone and the action is presented with a comic edge. R rating is mostly for language. Most of the cast play for laughs, Leibman giving a very energetic performance. There is top support from black actress-model Sheila Frazier iwho does a semi-strip I, Dan F'l-azcr and Pat Hingle. Tamu, the black girl from "Maude," has a bit and there are many familiar New York actors on hand. Produced by William Belasco on location in New York, film has a score by Jerry Fielding. Metro Color. With "The Super Cops" being so different from the rest, there is little doubt that it can be one of the biggest hits of the year. Ron Leibman, David Selby, Sheila E. Frazier, Pat Hingle, Dan Frazer, Joseph Sirola, Al Fann. CHINESE HERCULES iBl '^''"«,/"^«"°" Bryanston Pictures 90 Minutes Rel. Feb. '74 When National General Pictures ceased its operations recently, the newly formed Bryanston Pictui'es acquired this kung fu thi-iller. Secm-ed from the Hong Kong Kai Fa Film Co., "Chinese Hercules" shifts emphasis—at least in the selling—to villain Yang Sze. He is a massive and masterful exponent of the art of kung fu and was pitted against the late Bruce Lee in Warners' "Enter the Dragon." Star of the film is actually Chen Wei Min, cast as a hero afraid to fight because he believes that his sweetheart's brother died at his hands. Yang appears about half way through, being the strong-arm man for Pang Yeh. Latter, an instructor in the martial arts, will be familiar to kung fu devotees as the villain in several recent films. Producer Peter Poon and director Choy Tak put together an actioner with an acceptable plot, dock workers vs. a crime ring which is stopping trade. Screenplay by Ngai Hong is good, being stronger than usual. In widescreen and color, the new effort has been dubbed in typical fashion. The music score has a tendency to drown out the dialog, which may be an effective way of overcrowding this particular a.spect of kmig fu films. Good for its market. Chen Wei Min, Chiang Fan, Fang Yeh, Yang Sze, SWEET SLZY Li Tien Ying, Yuan Feng, Chin Ti. Signal 166, Inc. 82 Minutes Rel. July '73 Russ Meyer has been well known for producing and directing films about sex for several years. He has been the trend-setter for displaying female anatomy in action. He is noted for "The 'Vixen." "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" and "The Seven Minutes." This current film already has been shown in some areas under its original title of "Blacksnake." Tlie story, written by Meyer and Len Nebauer, may have been based on the legend of Annee Palmer, the witch of Jamaica. Excessiveness has been a trademark of Meyer films, and this is no exception. This film gets so overdone and overblown that it might best be considered a parody. In this respect it is more akin to his "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." There is much recun-ing montage throughout the film, and a selfconscious moralizing ending. The setting is 150 years ago in the Caribbean. It was lensed in Panavision and Color by Movielab. Anouska Hempel plays the title role of the island queen. There is not enough graphic sex or nudity in this film to please the skin trade, but the story may be adequate for the general soft-core market. This is a Trident Films, Ltd. production. Anouska Hempel. David Warbeck, Percy Herbert, Thomas BaptLste, .'\lilton .McCollin, Vicki Richards.
