By DAVID HALPIN
Features reporter
"Miss Mary," a film from Argentinian director
Maria Luisa Bemberg, is set in Buenos Aires durine
the 1930s and 1940s, a time of war in Europe and
South America. The film combines nice location
shots, a Icss-than-original story and average performances
to produce a slow and eventually unsatisfying
film.
The film is a series of remembrances by the title
character, played by Julie Christie, who arrives in
Hucnos Aires to become a governess for two young
girls of a rich and powerful family. The girls,

Johnny, played by Donald Mclntyre, is a son who
is attracted to the older Mary. Johnny later loses his
virginity when his uncle takes him to a prostitute as
a birthday present. Upset by the experience, he
rushes to Mary to express his love for her. The audience
suddenly discovers Mary shares his feelings,
but is doomed to fail as governess as a result.
Mary's relationship with the young Johnny is not
well understood. There is no hint she has any feelings
for him until they embrace, which is one of the

film's best scenes.
"Miss Mary" tries to show how Mary's introduction
into a wealthy family's lives alters both thoii
world and her initial feelings toward them. At the
same time, it tries to slum a deep relationship bet
ween her and each of the children.
The problem with the film k nmn? mI' th.<
ships arc developed fully, and many of the
characters and events are left in the air.
The girls eventually admire Mary, hut it is not
clear why. Christie's character is too weak to convince
viewers she has earned the respect of yirls who
ran off six prior governesses.

minting film
"Miss \1arv" borrows manv cinematic touches
from the British film "A Room With a View," such
as lush shots of the family estate and surrounding
countryside. Unlike that film, however, it suffers
from a misguided script, which can be very good at
times. "Miss Mary" attempts to bring the viewer a
fine story with meaningful characters, but the end
feeling is only dissatisfaction.
"Miss Mary" is rated R for adult situations and
profanity. It is showing at the Bijou theater in l ive
Points.
