Who-Dun-It Sparked by Humor
BY JEFFREY STINSON
Kanan Reviewer
"Who-dun-it" mysteries are popular nowadays with the old-fashioned moviegoer who still wants a story along with his poormen when he goes to the cinema.
This kind of movie-goer doesn't want to be concerned with themes, he wants to see what's going on. And he usually
isn't too disappointed when the quality of his training because he is only interested in 'who did do' him.
reviews
Director-Producer Herbert Ross "The Last of Sheila," which is running through Sunday at the Hillcrest III Theatre, will delight the old-fashioned goer-goer and amuse those who want to see a good film. Sheila will present the death of Sheila, a member of a small group of unfulfilled beautiful people, who are portrayed by an all-star cast.
The divulgence of Sheila's killer would be enough of a story for the old-fashioned, but two other murders occur and give an extra twist to what would otherwise be a mundane
James Coburn plays Sheila's sardonic and vengeance-asking husband who is a mother of five.
Coburn isn't the only person blessed with a sardonic sense of humour in the film. Each character possesses a biting wit, and the banter in itself would entertain the modern movie-going cynic, who wants more for his money than action.
Richard Benjamin plays an unsuccessful playwright, and James Mason is an equally unsuccessful movie producer. Racque Welch plays herself, a beautiful but untainted actress, and Dyan Cannon is a magazine writer. Joan Hackett, as Benjamin's alcoholic wife, and Ian McShane, as Racquel's lazy, round out the cast.
The story is filmed on location aboard Coburn's yacht, which is anchored off Nice on the French Riviera. At a time when all of Hollywood is grooming about a lack of money to produce films, it seems a waste that director Robert Wise has directed. The story could easily have been filmed off the coast of Southern California and many dollars saved.
A scan of the credits shows that actor Tony Perkins was co-author of the screenplay. He shouldn't be too displeased with Ross's work because the characters
are portrayed well, and the plot has no loose ends.
Bette Midler sings "Friends" in the background at the end. This probably won't impress the old-fashioned too much, but it’s worth remembering that the group of people in "The Last of Sheila."
'Iceman Cometh' Tickets Available
Tickets are still available for the remaining movies in the American Film Theater series, according to Eldon Har-
man. Tickets are also available at The Commonwealth
Theaters in Lawrence.
The next movie is "The Icelian Corneh," which will play Monday and Tuesday at Hillcrest III Theater. The play is considered by many critics to be the best work of Eugene O'Neil, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and four Pulitzer Prizes. The cast includes Lee Marvin, Fredric March, Ryan, Bradford Dillman and Jeff Bridges.
Harwood said Tuesday that season tickets for the remainder of the shows and individual tickets could be purchased on a first come, first serve basis. Individual tickets will be sold only after all season tickets holders are accommodated, he said.
High School Trip in 'American Graffiti'
By C.S. GROOM Kansan Reviewer
The big crush, love of your life, bobby socks, football jocks and greasers, cheerleaders, the high school prom—and you last night before you came to college?
"American Graffiti" is coming back to Hillcrest this Friday after a sall-out sneak preview last week. The funny thing is that it isn't Greta Garbole or Bogie or Mac West; it's
"Where were you in '82?" is the theme of "American Graffiti," and for many students on the college campuses, the movie falls in the period of their high school years.
Toby Tayler, from the TV show "Andy of Mayberry" has grown up and he is the star in "American Graffiti." He plays the senior team member making the captain of the cheering team.
Then there are drag races in which the taugh judge keeps his cool, and everything is good.

That was ten years ago. How times have changed.
In the movie there is the little creep who is an ugly little wart, nobody can stand and who has a tendency to hang around with the "in crowd." And the "in crowd" is the crowd that listens to the Beach Boys again and again, as we did in our "American Graffiti" years, and as we do now in remembering those years.
Did you ever go cruiser' for burgers, lookin' for a date? Can you remember a time when everything you always wanted to know about sex happened in the back seat of a car?' "American Graffiti" is a reminder of so many embarrassing moments that the movie shows. Some way, touch every person in the audience and make them laugh at themselves.
