Hotel: 'Entangling Alliances';
High-Class Riff-Raff Milieu

Candidates State Platforms

By LISSA MATROSS
and ANDREW LUGG
"It's like you're running a big
city . . . a unique empire . . a
private world with a do-not-dis-
turb sign on every door," so runs
the ad for "Hotel," now playing at
the Michigan Theatre.
"Hotel" is at least this.
Set in St. Gregory's Hotel in
New Orleans, a formerly elegant,
southernly decadent spot, "Hotel"
is a meeting-place for the strange
and the wierd. To wit: Catherine
Spaak, The Girl from Paris, a rich
man's traveling companion ("and
what better way to travel"); Rod
Taylor, The Hotel Manager, my
grandmother's darling ("you can
see his white hat"); and Kevin
McCarthy as Curtis O'Keefe, the
hairy-chested entrepreneur, out to
buy St. Gregory's at all costs,
baby.
Director Richard Quine presents
these stereotypic characters with
dialogue which befits them:
"Word's around Curtis O'Keefe's
comin' in. Mean anything to you?"
Or this gem between Taylor and
Spaak:
"Tough kid, aren't you?" "Yes,
I'm a tough kid."
Like the dialogue, the editing
is akin to that of early Mack Sen-
nett. To move to a higher altitude,
Quine moves the camera upwards
into the dissolve; whilst the op-
posite effect is achieved by moving
the camera downward. This move-
ment is best, and most often af-
fected, via the elevator.
The original music by Johnny

Keating, exactly parallelling the
story-line, establishes "Hotel" as
a genre piece in the mannerist
tradition.
Quine has used this convention
to liberate himself from the ex-
egesis of plot and to allow a
thorough-going phenomonological
analysis of the Man-Environment
syndrolme. This appears in its
most overt form when The Negro
meets The Hostile South. Finally,
St. Gregory's desegs, of course,
and as the NAACP agent pro-
claims, "the Millennium has come
for New Orleans."
But more subtly, there is a
delicate interplay between Edith
Head's magnificent costumes, the
iconography of the hotel and the
visual aspects of the wheelings-

and-dealings which take place be-I
hind locked doors on fourteenth
floors.
Quine uses The Hotel not as
Resnais did in "Marienbad" nor
as Bergman did in "The Silence."
Neither is this roccoco, nor hip.
Rather, it is a sort-of Win Schu-
ler's for high-class riff-raff. The
tone of the film is generated by
this milieu, and within it the re-
souding resolution of the "en-
tangling alliances" (G. Washing-
ton) are completely acceptable.
What is so good about this film
is that people do all these things,
and fall in love, and two people
die and things work out okay for
some, anyhow, and there's lots of
action and strippers who could've,
and that.

(Continued from Page 1)
Formal implementation of a
group similar to last summer's ad
hoc Citizen's Advisory Committee
on Police-Community Relations,
was endorsed by the Democratic
platform. The platform sees the
group "as one method of securing
greater co-operatioi between the
community and the police." This
issue of formal recognition of such
a group has split party lines in
the campaign with various candi-
dates calling formal recognition
''unnecessary.''
On the whole, both platforms
contain specific and detailed
recommendations, especially in the
areas of fiscal reform from the
Republican platform and in the

area of human rights, housing and
transportation from the Demo-
cratic platform. In many areas
the Republican document praises
the city's Republican administra-
tion on its past efforts but does
not make any really concrete sug-
gestions for the improvement of
city services or relations. The
Democrats, long in the minority,
have made some pertinent criti-
cisms and suggestions, obviously
with an eye to the future; in the
last city council election the Dem-
ocratic party polled slightly over
50 per cent of the vote.
If the percentage is consistent,
Democratic wins in certain swing
wards could give them control of
the city administration for the
first time since the 1930's.

By LARRY MEDOW
With really bad bad guys and
a not too suave but beautifully
happy-go-lucky hero, "That Man
From Rio" now playing at Cinema
II is an incredibly funny adven-
ture farce.
Participating in a fantastic romp
around Rio, Jean-Paul Belmondo,
a French soldier on a week's leave,
departs from Paris and sanity and
innocently becomes involved in a
complex tangle of stolen "Maltec"
Indian museum pieces, poison dart
guns, and a hidden treasure.
Throughout the flick, Belmondo

keeps his cool and displays
amazing endurance as he runs
after speeding cars, swims after
speeding boats, and dodges speed-
ing darts. His performance is ex--
cellent, epitomizing the blase
anti-hero. His timing- is perfect-
he consistently, but accidentally,
triumphs over numerous foes in
hilarious fight and chase scenes.
Belmondo's stunts include brav-
ing alligators in South American
jungle swamps, dangling from
taut wires high above Brazilia,
producing a pink car with green
stars, fighting off barroom brawl-
ers, piloting a plane successful-
ly (?) at a first try, and always
emerging from each encounter un-
scathed and unshaken.
Capturing the color and excite-
ment of Rio de Janeiro and in-
corporating the then unfinished
architectural splendor of Brazilia,
superb photography contributes to
the overall zest of "That Man
From Rio."
Even the music contributed to
the farce and satiric tone of the
picture. An overly heavy-handed
background musical theme height-
ened the tension at the proper
tense moment, while native music
adds atmosphere and chase music
adds zip.
With his face posted on dormi-
tory and sorority walls, Belmondo
appears to be the most wanted
man in Ann Arbor at the moment.
And well he should be. "That Man
From Rio" is too good to be
missed.
