C., 1986 Delta Air Lines, Inc. .42 Friday, June.27, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Darryl Hannah, Debra Winger and Robert Redford in "Legal Eagles." It's very hard to go and see a picture like Legal Eagles (rated PG) without a lot of preconcep- tions. First of all, there's superstar Robert Redford. Since we know that the film is a romantic comedy-mystery, we know in ad- vance that Redford will be charm- ing, ingratiating, and modestly heroic. Then there are the other stars: Debra Winger and Darryl Han- nah. We know that Winger will be brash and sexy and Hannah will be sulky and sexy. Then we know that the director, Ivan Reitman, did films like Ani- mal House and Ghostbusters. So we know there'll be some heavy physical comedy, including the obligatory car smash-ups. Well, the good news and the bad news is, depending on your point of view, that Legal Eagles does, indeed, deliver on all these points. Redford is loose and funny and exceptionally charming. Here he is back playing the "Robert Red- ford character" again, and he's great at it. I was a little nervous about having to review a Redford performance, considering the fact that I wrote of how poorly I thought he had done in Out of Af- rica. For my negative comments about him in that one, I was harangued and almost physically attacked in public by some of his irate fans. But this time, I'm safe from such possible excoriation. Redford is properly cast, well-directed, and has a part and script that suit him perfectly. Of course, he should have since the screenplay was re-written five times, under Redford's supervision, to make it right for him. Debra Winger, playing an at- torney this time, is toned down from some of her previous roles, and she, too, comes off beautifully. The chemistry between her and Redford is exciting. I would be surprised if we didn't see another film with Redford-Winger. Darryl Hannah projects sex like crazy. Maybe it's because last time I saw her she was halffish, but I didn't realize she was so tall. With those legs that won't quit and her long blonde hair, she is a knock-out on screen. As to director Reitman, I was delightfully surprised that he could put together a film with such a light touch as compared to the anarchistic, nihilistic films he's done before. Previously dub- bed a "schlockmeister," Reitman proves here he is far more than that. Unless you've been away on a space mission or a trek through Siberia, you've probably already heard about Legal Eagles and know something of the story. Briefly stated, it's about art fraud, false accusations, murder, and how two bright persistent lawyers untangle it all and cause justice to triumph. You may have read some of the reviews, which as best as I can determine thus far are split about 50/50 over whether this is a de- lightful, wonderful experience, or a somewhat disappointing, heavy, plodding near-miss. I find myself right in the middle on this one. I think that Legal Eagles is a pleasant summer di- vertissement. It's very hard not to like Redford, Winger, and Han- nah. There are some fresh, off- beat amusing scenes and dialogue. On the other side of the ledger, there is a clumsy, melodramatic plot. When the villains appear on screen, they scowl, grimace and sneer. You sure know-they're the bad guys right off the bat. It was, nonetheless, interesting to see Terence Stamp again — al- beit in an older incarnation. Brian Dennehy is solid as always and Steven Hill was tops, too, as the opportunistic district attorney. There are slow moments, and there is some awkward plotting. In the technical area, there is some strange cutting. We get zip- ped around during some Redford-Winger dialogues with needless, distracting edits. Maybe there wasn't enough footage to cover or maybe there was a prob- lem around which they had to edit. There is reportedly $12 million worth of art used in the film. It adds a note of visual spice and au- thenticity. Legal Eagles owes a lot to pre- decessors like the classic Tracy- Hepburn Adam's Rib. And while, yes, we all know that comparisons are "odious," it's hard to avoid making some reference to the ear- lier masterpiece when the two have so many similarities. Unfortunately, this newer work will not compete for a place in film history with Adn.m.'s Rib. But, on the other hand, it does offer enough wit, style, and excitement. AO*
