Ai me |Anti-her Another fm has been added to the growing leion of "ocially concerned motion pictures." "WUSA" is a film about a radio station in some unnamed part of the country, a station that specializes in the art of propagandizing the news, to the Right. "WUSA" believes "when the news is treated right, people respond t) it, like music." Paul Newman plays a wandering alcoholic disc jockey who catches on with the station. He realizes that the station is biased, and Fascist inspired, but won't get involved. Joanne Woodward plays the wandering, aging "woman of the night" who catches on with Nevnan, while he's in the process of catching on with "WUSA" "WUSA" is an interesting film, in some ways informative. The problem is that the picture is spread a little too thin. Like many of the current politically involved films. "WUSA" is very concerned with getting the message across, whatever the particular message is. The danger here is that by getting across a message, good film making technique is sometimes abandoned. "WUSA" drags at times, and due to the thinness of the plot, there is periodic confusion. At one point in the film Anthony Perkins is duped, Into collecting biased information for the station, and doesn't know I "'SCROOGE'IS D -CO-ED MAG "'SCROOGE' IS A -PARENTS MA What te dd hav the done to S "SCRoOGI A NEW MUSICAL With Albert Finney Evans, Alec Gui NOWF PlAYING L Gener to the newg After thir ty years or neglect, there's no quest need help.

One very interesting thing about "WUSA" is that it attacks the anti-' hero. In the last few years, the anti-hero has become the star. All lovable and interesting film; characters have been unorthadox i and in most cases on the other side of the law. "WUSA" slaps hard at the uninvolved. Instead of the' adulation usually accorded characters like James Bond, Butch Cassidy, and the cast of "M-A-S-H," "WUSA" attacks its anti-hero, Paul Newman. Newman is the perfect drop-out, he's witty, calm in the face of all danger, and In general, the perfect rogue. Why then is he treated so, harshly by the film? Because if' "WUSA" did nothing else, itI identified the real enemy. This I enemy is the man who knows what's going on and refuses to get involved. It points the finger of guilt at the cynical fool who has a chance to expose dishonesty and corruption, but is "too busy." "WUSA" makes a statement, that the man who knows what's going on and does not act is as guilty as anyone concerned and more quilty than some. It implies that with knowledge or ability, such as Newman's in "WUSA" goes a responsibility. "WUSA" may have many flaws, but for this one statement alone, it deserves to be seen.
