At the
Three Winners
For the first time in as long as anyone can
remember, At The Movies has nothing but good
things to say about not one, but three currently
playing films.
The three films in question are "Little Fauss
and Big Halsy," "Lovers and Other Strangers,"
and "Start the Revolution Without Me." All three
of these offerings gave little advance warning as
to their real worth, especially "Start the
Revolution Without Me."
"Little Fauss and Big Halsy" is the story of
two men who race motorcycles for an almost
living. Robert Redford of "Sundance Kid" fame
does a superb lob of portraying the man who has
everything except anything worth having.
Redford is of course good looking, witty,
worldly, and has all the presence of a cosmic
winner. He has no trouble picking up any chick
he wants, always has a wise remark handy and
seems to have the world by the tall.
Michael J. Pollard plays "Little," a semi
pathetic bike mechanic who has ambitions of
being a big money circuit rider. Pollard teams
up with Redford and together the cosmic winner
and the cosmic loser strike out to find their
fortune.
The story covers the eventual breakup of the 1
unlikely team. Pollard falls in love with a girl
that Redford makes and from there on in, the
partnership goes downhill.
The strange thing is that when the duo splits
up, it be':omes evident who the real loser is. f
Redford gives all the appearances of being a v
winner, but in the final analysis, he's nothing. s
Nothing but a fool who pursues a dream that I
doesn't exist, a fool who can't see that he's
nothing. In fact, Redford is the ultimate pawn, g
not only is he a loser, but he's packaged in the n
wrappings of a winner, the complete letdown. d
"Little Fauss and Big Halsy" Is a very good h
film, it affords the viewer a good' glimpse at P
some of the more real aspects of life, especially
the "free" life. All too many films and novels ar

show only the glamour of one night stands and
being unattached, never the loneliness.
"Lovers and Other Strangers" is a film about
some of the aspects of the not-so-fre, life. In fact
this film deals with life in a cage, the cage of
family obligations and expectations.
Surprisingly, "Lovers" is an extremely funny
film. David Susskind who directed and produced
this low cost-high quality film manages to treat
the subject lovingly, as well as with a degree of
frustration and humor.
"Lovers" deals with all aspects of marriage,
all within the same family. On one level it deals
Nith a couple who are about to be married, on
snother it deals with a couple that have been
'narried six years and are getting divorced.
On yet another level, "Lovers" shows you a
couple that is supposed to have been happily
married for some time. Suaskind is assisted by
Gig Young and an otherwise unknown cast that
)roves to be superb.
"Start the Revolution Without Me" is perhaps
he biggest and most pleasant surprise In some
rne. It Is a film that deals with a fantasy about
he French Revolution. The film Is so bizzare
hat it is hard to Imagine that Mack Sennett did
iot plan some of the slapstick chase scenes.
Gene Wilder of "Producers" fame plays one
ialf of lost twins, and Donald Sutherland from
'Mash" plays the other half. "S.T.R.W.M." Is
Illed with something for everyone; there are
vild chase scenes, double entendres galore, and
ome of the funniest two man diliogues since
)ean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
Wilder, despite his lack of exposure is a comic
enius. There are few, If any, men who can
watch him when he gets -rolling as a well
eveloped neurotic. Sutherland, too, redeems
mself for his part in the last film farce he
3rticipated in, "Kelly's Heroes."
Together the two play each other off as well as
