'French Connection' Runs 1936 'Modern Times' Return Beyond Believable Reality
By STUART CLELAND Kngsen Reviewer
After months of hyped-up press releases, giant ads, multiple Academy Awards and so forth. I walked out of the Fremont Theater on my way to last night feeling rather let down. As far as I can see, the film is nothing more than a well-acted, above average cops and robbers
As a mystery thriller-chiller it's OK, but nowhere near as good as a comparable film like "Z." But for its realism and the considerable amount of attention, culminating with the Oscar for 'Best Picture.' One wonders why, and the only answer that can be hoped to answer it extraordinary mass appeal.
THE FILM is based on real people and events, so a question about the probabilities of the incidents she showed to doubt. But watching the film, I couldn't help but feel that the story has quite a few holes in it. Briefly, it concerns a tough Nile Dye (Gene Hackman) and his
sidekick. Both doggedly pursue a string of people until they finally wind up nabbing a couple of others whose worth of uncut incurious. Fine.
But a few plot elements seem strange. For instance: Popeye arbitrarily decides to trail a group of the smugglers after a party, then returns to their club. Why? They don't look particularly suspicious.
Later, a highly professional sniper misses an easy shot at him. Rather unlikely, toward the end of the mission, their plans although they know
the cops are watching their every move. Why? Don't they care if they're caught?
Finally, the police, after
truly dismantling a car can't
poppee and obviously come up
with an obvious question
about the web.
Local Artists to Display Works in Park Sunday
HACKMAN is very good as I suppose, a totally unsympathetic man. He simply purifies for love of violence and the power his baddies give him. He does not care about the immorality of drug dealing and this is made clear.
and Recreation Commission will present a horticultural exhibit for the general public and refreshments will be served.
The ith annual "Art in the Park" Show will be held Sunday in South Park. Amateur and professional artists from the Lawrence area will display and sell their original works between the park and the west side of the park on the east side of Massachusetts street.
It's things like this that make "The French Connection" seem more than a little contrived.
If the weather is bad, the show will be held in the Lawrence Community Building.
On the other hand, the film seems to be of two minds regarding his methods of operation.
A wild car chase which endangers numerous pedestrians is surely no less reprehelnable than wholesale murder via heroin. Such a chase is used not only for its excitement value, but also as a means of adamianrability of Pope's determination to get his man.
THE FILM tries to downplay this conclusion by tacking on a rudiculously 'heavy' ending, but it turns out that the film is never absent for long.
On a larger scale, the car chase
typlies what's wrong with the fillet-
ing of the skin. The stylish thrilling and oh-my-god,
searcy it's simply fast, hard and
stunning.
According to Shirley F. Wilcox, public chairman for "Art in the City," he said the organization registered as of May 1 to display their works in such media as watercolor, oil, tempera wood-paste, and mixed media handwoven and handprinted textiles, silversmithing, enamel sculpture, photography and art.
Conversely, one of the best scenes is a witty psychological battle as a naive French crook falls off his trail in a subway station.
When the film remembers that a thriller should have class, genre and language are exceptions, and the rest of the time "The French Connection" is about a French thief.
This is the first year that high school students have been invited to play in the soccer team of University of Kansas and from Haskell Indian Junior College.
