the movies \ * Louise Snider Out-of-date script leaves out humor in 'Carbon Copy' What are we doing with a "Carbon Copy" (PG) in this age of Xerox machines and word processors? That should give you some idea of how dated this movie is. It appears to be a carbon copy left from the era of the '60s, a script that's been lying around on someone's shelf for too long. - The theme, dealing with racial prejudice, presents the subject as if it were just discovered. At a time when major corporations compete against each other to hire qualified minority applicants, we have a movie still pressing an argument for elementary social acceptance of blacks. I'm not denying the continued existence of prejudice but only questioning this movie's naive presentation which is out of step with contemporary developments. Prejudice today manifests itself in less overt, more subtle ways than the gross exaggerations of this movie. "CARBON COPY" expects the audience to accept the extreme behavior of a bunch of top-level executives, their wives, a family doctor and a minister, all of whom seem to have passed through the last 20 years in an isolation chamber. In 1967, when the daughter of Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" brought home a "Negro" fiance, the shock was enough to register on the Richter scale, and the audience could feel it. In 1981, when George Segal in "Carbon Copy" introduces a young "hickory brown" man as his son, the offspring of a college romance with a black woman, we are just left wondering what all the fuss is about. His wife tosses him out of the house. His boss (who is also his father-in-law) fires him. The family physician refuses to treat him anymore, the minister chastizes and prays for him, his friends cut him cold. All this because he had an illegitimate son by a black woman 18 years ago? Add to this a remark by the son who refers to taking part in a protest march and singing "We Shall Overcome," and this movie distinctly seems to be set in the wrong time slot. AWKWARD AS it is, the movie makes its point. When Segal's son (smartly played by Denzel Washington) comes to him and informs him of their relationship, Segal sees him as a stereotypical black teenager, not as an individual with as much potential for success as anyone else. Segal begins to realize how easily he has allowed stereotypes to infiltrate his thinking when he tries to hustle a white father and son in a basketball game. When Washington and Segal lose because of Washington's poor playing, Segal discovers that all blacks aren't naturals at basketball, just as all blacks aren't high school dropouts or welfare recipients. Segal handles his role with alacrity. He should. It bears a strong resemblance to the harried, unemployed executive he played in "Fun with Dick and Jane." Jack Warden chalks up another fine character performance as the corporation president, a benign bigot who calls himself a realist, and Susan St. James is marvelously dry as the snooty wife who calculates every action according to whether it will enhance or diminish her social status. m Movie magic (Above) Sissy Spacek stars as Nita Longley in "Raggedy Man," which opened Friday at Detroit-area movie houses. This Is Spacers first film since her Oscar-winning performance In "Coal Miner's Daughter." "Raggedy Man" is the story of Nita, her two young sons and their struggle for love in a small Texas town. (Below) Donald Pleasance, reprising his role as Dr. Loomis in "Halloween II," searches the ground where The Shape has fallen. The sequel to "Halloween" — said to be the most successful independent production of all time — opens Friday at metropolitan-Detroit theaters. / Mo n -day, October 26, 1981 Country makes rock and roll move over By Nick Charle* special writer Rock and roll has always been king but lately it's being challenged by an unbelievably strong force of music called country. Many performers are slowly but surely changing the harsh raw sound that counltry once had to a more palatable and more commercial sound. Performers like Kenny Rogers, Eddie Rabbitt, Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap and others have successfully endured this evolution (known as "crossover") from country charts to the pop charts. Without realizing it, fans have accepted them as pop artists rather than where their roots are in country. Country music has become so popular that, by Presidential Order, October has been designated as Country Music Month. Canton's Center Stage is celebrating the month by announcing a country music series. The country music series at Center Stage will open with David Frizzel and Shelly West in concert at 9 p.m. Monday. Other concerts in the series include Lacy J. Dalton on Nov. 3 and Razzy Bailey on Nov. 23. DAVID FRIZZEL and Shelly West are probably better known to country newcomers as the brother of the late Lefty Frizzel and the daughter of the great Dottie West. The two have just released their first album to- preview gether on Viva/Warner Bros. Records called "Carryin' on the Family Names." The first mark the two talents made together was on a tune called "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma That little ditty just happened to hit the No. 1 spot on the country charts. It also appeared in the movie and on the soundtrack of "Any Which Way You Can" at the request of none other than the movie's star, Clint Eastwood. On Nov. 10, Center Stage is also proud to announce Alabama. At this year's Country Music Awards Alabama walked away with Best Vocal and Best Instrumental Band of the year awards If any member of the group was asked how it felt to win, I'm sure that person would have said it "feels so right." And that's just how it feels to the listener of this country band's latest album on RCA records called "Feels So Right. THE TITLE tune was written by vocalist/guitarist Randy Owen. Randy will be joined by cousins Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry, while friend Mark Herndon mans the drums David Frizzell and Shelly West open the Country Music Series at 9 tonight at Center Stage in Canton. - T GUIDE MONDAY NIGHT ' FOOTBALL SPECIAL ^ _ a i i W c HOT DOGS 25 4' D C C D (At Special Prices DtCn too low to advertise) During Game Only!!
