CINEMA
Shoot the Piano Player -
Ann Arbor Film Co-op, MLB 3,
7 & 10) - A most untypically
free-flung effort by Francois
Truffaut about a downtrodden
pianist battling nameless gang-
sters. A neo-absurdist tragi-
comedy that is lyrical but at the
same time bitingly unsentimen-
tal, and considerably more
compelling than Truffaut's us-
ual marshmallows. ****
Loves of a Blond - (Ann Ar-
bor Film Co-op, MLB 3, 8:30
only) - 1965 Czech' film that
first brought director Milos
Forman (Cuckoo's Nest) to pro-
minence, depicting a disillusion-
ing first love. Never seen by
this critic, but was made dur-
ing the wonderous, brief flow-
ering of the Czech cinema (1961-
68), and is likely worth seeing.

CINEMA
Return of the Pink Panther-
(Peoples' Bicentennial Com-
mission, MLB, 7 & 9) - Recent
sequel to Peter Sellers' famous
Inspector Clousseau films of
more than a decade ago. An
accurate re-assemblage with all
the laughs intact, but somehow
the whole enterprise seems out
of time and place against the
backdrop of the post-Vietnam,
post - Watergate, post - assas-
sination age. Sellers tries hard,
but the film comes on as noth-
ing so much as a desperate,
yearning museum piece. *
Easy Rider - (Ann Arbor
Film Co-op, Ang. Aud. A, 7 &
10:30) - The Counterculture's
original cinematic battle cry
seems more a strange, wispy
anachronism with each passing
year (did people really act like
that then?) Interesting today
only for Jack Nicholson's per-
formance and for nostalgia pur-
poses.**
The King of Marvin Gardens
- (Ann Arbor Film Co-op, Ang.
Astd. A, 9 only) - Ever get the
feeling Jack Nicholson is incap-
able of playing anything but the
same basic wise - guy? Well,
it's a bum rap; his eloquent
interpretation here of a brainy,
introverted radio commentator
should have dispelled such ru-
mors forever, but unfortunately
didn't (hardly anyone saw the
film), and it's a shame he
doesn't get more opportunities
to display his unexpectedly
awesome versitivly.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS
(Don Siegel, 1956)
Based on a story by Jack Finney. this stands as one W ltle
oreat sci-fi horror films of a lltime. Made amidsti i
of the McCarthy Era, the filn picks up the politicl tflii sof
the time and0 paroies them by having aliens slowly tate co,-
trol of the earth. No one knows who's real and whosnot, and the
paranoia runs rampant from there. Kevin McCartiy, Dana
wynter.
PETER BOGDANOVICH'S (before Cvbill 1968
TARGETS MLB 4-9 only
In 1908, Roger Corman told young film buff Bodanovich tit hae
could direct a film under three conditions: it must cost less
than $125,000; a part mastibe found for Boris Karloff, who owed
Corman two days of shootting;and use must be made of l1
minutes of an old Karloff film already shot. In spite of (because
of?) these restrictions, Bogandovich respondted with a tight,
beautifuly realized thriler, based on Charles whitman's 13-
death rampage from the University of Texas tower. withh Kar-
lof's last great performance, TARGETS is a movie for movie
lovers from i movie lover.
AND
PAPER MOON MLB 3-7 & 9
(Peter Boodonovich, 1973)
uogdanovicb's best film. Ryan O'Neill plays Moses Pray, a
Bible-selling con man and Tatum O'Neill plays Addie, who
teams up with Moses and turns out to be a far better con.
artist. The Academy Award won by Tatum 0 and the acclaim
accorded Madeline Kahn overshadowed the fact that Ryan
O'Neill turned in a very fine and convincing performance. Shot
in beauttifi black and white.
