Heavenly movie heralds happiness
Bv SARAH ILES
Happy movies finally seem to be making a comeback. After several years of manatee sharks, possessed children, floods, fire and plain old magnum-force violence, the public is being treated to stories about fairly吓人的 people in some own problems. Some recent examples are "The Goodbye Girl," "House Calls" and "An Unmarried Woman."
Reviewer
She newly released "Heaven Can Wait" should top the list. It is a buoyant, cheerful movie while it is thought-provoking, with a respect for human emotions. It has managed to combine love, comedy, fantasy and ethics without cheapening any of them.
"Heaven Can Wait!" is Warren Beatty, Elaine May and Buck Henry's remake of the 1941 success "Here Comes Honey." He plays the Rams' football player, Joe Pendleton, played by Beatty, who is packed off to heaven 50 years before his time by a novice angel, played by Henry. Mr. Jordan, a former coach for the Rams, stands Pendleton a substitute body to use so he can play in the Superbowl.
KANSAN The Cinema
Leo Farnsworth, a powerful yet pudgy executive, is chosen as the donor.
complications arise because, to everyone but the audience and himself, Pendleton looks like Farnsworth but he has retained his own ebullient personality, because Pendleton is hardworking. Jordan only he can see, and because Farmsworth's wife, played by Dyan Cannon, and secretary played by Charles Groin, are trying to murder him. Julie Christie also enters the picture as a crusader and learns that Farmsworth fails for.
her again. This is carried through, quite simply, because the two of them look as if they mean it. There is a lot of affection and comfort in this, but also a respect to cinnamon or, incredibly, to sex.
Fairly well.
A fantasy about heaven, invisible angels and browrowing has the potential to amuse anyone but risks failing flat amid cut jokes and unbelievability. "Heaven Can Walt" saves itself ever without venturing too far out of the range of what mortals can believe.
The way station to heaven, for example,
instead of being filled with harps and halos.
a well-run, efficient affair. A Concordate jeans to waistish the new arrivals off to their "Ultimate Destination," as the business-suited angels call it. There are lists and rules, which Pendleton refuses to follow, doing pushups in the clouds instead.
The script May and Beaty have created is believable because it avoids movieland cliches. Every sentence, every action makes sense, yet is impure in the story because he is not given the time or chance to guess what is coming next.
The actors and actresses contribute a great deal to the movie's success. None of them appear to be walking through their lines. Some of the dialogue is potentially maudian--for instance, an encounter between Beatty and Christie in which he tells her that he wants to "memorize her face, everything about her," in case he never sees
Jack Warden, as Pendleton's coach and friend, Max, also must be commended for his ability to tread the line between mawkish smaltz and touching warmth.
Cannon gives a hilarious and frightening performance as the juvenile, murderous wife—sort of a Lady Macbeth in a baffent murder. The woman who is Cannon is a heineyed but motivated Macbeth.
Beauty doesn't make very many movies—this is his 15th in 18 years—but those he participates in, as actor, director or writer, are worth the wait. As all three in "Heaven Can Wait," he has given us an upplifting and stifled two hours of fun with sindance.
Judge declares evidence is sufficient to hold trial
Westergen is being held on charges that alleges he raped and murdered Vernita Smith.
Eugene E. Westergren, $1, a man who said his confession to murder "was just a bunch of lies," was ordered Thursday to stand trial for murder.
Judge Mike Elwell, associate judge for Douglas County District Court, ruled that there was sufficient cause to order a trial for Westergren.
"What we've heard in the testimony is not conclusive proof beyond a reasonable doubt," Elwell said.
notor, Lelu said.
Elwell said there was, however, enough evidence to order a trial even without Westergren's confession.
However, at last week's hearing,
Westergren denied ever being in Smith's
house.
He later said he made up the confession because he "was so damned scared of going back outside into the cold."
Westernren confessed to the murder Dec.
21, 1977.
Elwell denied a motion to suppress the confession. He said that the police acted with proper legal limits during the attack. But the Mergerer had guarded his rights voluntarily.
"A jury will have to decide whether the confession can be believed and whether the inconsistencies are enough that he should be found guilty," Ewell said.
Westerglen is being held without bond and will be arraigned Aug. 4.
