"Sunburn" is certainly no improvemenl<br />

over Farrah Fawcett Majors* first starring<br />

movie, "Somebody Killed Her Husband " In<br />

fact it's much worse. But during the film one<br />

can almost see the minds of producers John<br />

Daly and Gerald Green working as they tried<br />

to improve on the earlier movie, which wasn't<br />

much of a success either critically or commer<br />

cially<br />

They knew that the audiences of<br />

"Husband" didn't accept Fawcett Majors as a<br />

wife and mother, so this time they made her a<br />

"kooky" model.<br />

And although she looked nice in the heavy<br />

layers of winter clothing in the earlier movie,<br />

that's not exactly the Farrah audiences<br />

wanted to see. So this time the movie is set in<br />

Acapuico so she can dress (barelyl in swim<br />

suits and skimpy summer dresses that are held<br />

up solely by imagination.<br />

And it didn't look good last time to have her<br />

performance overshadowed by that of Jeff<br />

Bridges So now her leading man is Charles<br />

Grodin<br />

Grodin can be a fine second banana.<br />

but he looks as out of place in the role of the<br />

gun
