THE ADVENTURERS (1970)
A sleazy Harold Robbins novel retains its trashy aura on
film.
Set in South America, it tells the tale of
a rich playboy (played by the great thespian ... Bekim
Fehmiu) who uses and destroys everyone who
crosses his path. His vileness results from having seen his
mother murdered by outlaws, but his obsession
is to avenge his father's murder. Blood, gore, revolutions,
and exploitive sex follow him everywhere.
Starring Candice Bergen, Olivia de Havilland, Ernest Borgnine, Leigh
Taylor-Young, Fernando Rey,

Pia Zadora makes her screen debut in an overcooked melodramatic

James M. Cain novel that is every bit as smutty and sleazy as
Zadora's

The location of the novel has been switched from Appalachia to the
barren lands of Arizona and Nevada
in 1937. Stacy Keach plays Jess Tyler, a desert hermit who
has spent years guarding an abandoned silver
mine. Suddenly, Jesse is confronted by his very grown-up and sexy
daughter, who, when she was a baby,
had been taken away from him by his wife Belle (Lois
Nettleton).
Kady, it so happens, hasn't come home
for a family reunion -- she has just been dumped by a rich young
man who is the father of her illegitimate
child and whose family owns the very silver mine that Jess is
guarding.
Kady hopes to use her feminine
wiles to seduce Jess and reopen the mine and extract the money from
the earth that she feels is due
her from the family. As if his seductive daughter walking around
bare-breasted in front of him isn't enough,
Jess must also deal with the sudden return of his older daughter
Jane (Ann Dane), who appears with Kady's
son, Belle, who comes back to Jess dying of tuberculosis, and Moke
Blue (James Franciscus), the man
who stole Belle away from Jess years ago. Also squeezing his way
into Jess's shack is Wash Gillespie

In this badly misconceived pseudo-biography of the legendary

as a rebel fighter
under the direction of Fidel Castro, played -- also incredibly --

a young Argentine doctor, proves his worth under the heat of

the respect of his men, becomes the leader of a patrol. Castro is
impressed by Guevara's
tactics and strict discipline and makes him his chief advisor. When
Castro defeats the Cuban
dictator Batista after two years of fighting, Guevara, under
Castro's
nod, directs a series of
massive reprisals -- but Guevara dreams of fermenting a worldwide
revolution. After Castro
backs down during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Guevara accuses Castro
of being a Soviet dupe
and leaves Cuba. Under disguise, Guevara lands in Bolivia, where
he attempts to begin his dream
of a worldwide peasant revolution, but the Bolivian poor will not
follow his lead, and his band

Gable is married at the time, and

the classic gross-out scene of the alcoholic lady

Or, best of all, the largest spider in the world...
this incredible special effect was allegedly achieved (in the scenes
where the spider is moving) by taking
a VW bug (the car, not the insect), throwing a rug over it, glueing
several appendages on the sides, and
using the headlights for the spider's blinking eyes!! Without

NOTHING PERSONAL (1980)
Flawed and problematic, this romantic comedy is about Abigail
Adams
(Suzanne Somers),
a sexy, talented, and dedicated lawyer, her new client Prof. Roger
Keller (Donald Sutherland),
and their fight to save baby seals from slaughter. The issue was
a hot one, but the film as a whole
does not rise to the occasion. The good professor manages to get
the attention of Washington
brass, and the good lawyer manages to get the attention of the
professor,
so the battle against
the corporate devil (Lawrence Z. Dane) in charge of the mayhem
begins.
And the battle of the
sexes is played out against that backdrop. ~

THE PEACE KILLERS (1971)
This biker action film from a small "B" studio opened to mixed
reviews.
Once a woman is the "old lady"
of a motorcycle gang leader, she is always his "old lady," even
when she goes to live in a hippie peace
commune and practices the disciplines of peace and love.
That's
what her old gang thinks anyway, and
they intend to do something about it, even if it means pounding
the whole crew of lace-clad peacenik
pantywaists into the dirt. They begin with a little simple
terrorizing and move on to heavier stuff.

THE PHYNX (1970)
Have you ever longed for the day when James Brown, Martha Raye,
and
Col. Harlan Sanders would appear
in a movie together? Well, that's barely the tip of the improbable
casting iceberg in this bizarre cold-war spoof.
The leaders of the American intelligence organization the S.S.A.
("Super Secret Agency") are becoming
increasingly alarmed by the disappearance of a number of B-list
celebrities, who are being spirited off to
Communist Albania. Eager to bring the fading stars back to the Land
Of The Free, the S.S.A. come up
with a simple plan -- they'll find four typical guys in their
mid-20's,
have them form a rock group, make them
into international stars, and wait until they get invited to play
a gig in Albania, which will allow them to find
out what's become of Rudy Vallee, Butterfly McQueen, and Huntz Hall,
among others. Unemployed philosopher
Michael A. Miller, Native-American honor student Ray Chippeway,
phys-ed major Dennis Larden, and
male model Lonny Stevens are drafted by the S.S.A., and after some
intensive training by experts (Trini Lopez
shows them a few guitar chords, and Richard Pryor gives them a crash
course in soul), they become an overnight
sensation as The Phynx (yes, it's pronounced "Finks"); their album
sells 17 million copies on the strength of
songs like "What Is Your Sign?", and their groupies have to be
cleared
away by forklift. But fun and games
have to go to the back burner when Albanian ruler Markevitch (George
Tobias) and his wife Ruby (Joan Blondell)
invite the Phynx to perform at the behest of their son. Pat O'Brien,
Xaviar Cugat, Patty Andrews, Ruby Keeler,
Dick Clark, Joe Louis, Harold "Oddjob" Sakata, Fritz Feld, Rona
Barrett, George Jessel and Jay Silverheels
are just a few of the other notables who make cameo appearances
in The Phynx, which had a very brief
theatrical release before being sold to television in the early
1970's. Legendary songwriters Jerry Leiber and
Mike Stoller penned the songs performed by The Phynx (and Stoller
composed the background score),
though for some reason they're not covered nearly as often as
Jailhouse
Rock, Hound Dog, or Yakkety Yak.

THE PINK ANGELS (1971)


This really isn't such an odd duck when you think about it; after
Easy Rider became a hit there was such a
glut of quickie cheapo biker flicks that film makers were anxious
for any kind of hook. So we were treated to
evil biker gangs, good biker gangs, black biker gangs, chick biker
gangs, and even a werewolf biker gang.
So it cant be much of a shock that a lightbulb went off over
director
Larry G. Brown's head one day
leading to THE PINK ANGELS, which as far as we know is still the
worlds only GAY BIKER FILM. It's all
pretty tame stuff really, there's never any kissing or boinking
between the Pink Angels, and aside from lots of
prancing and mincing there's no real proof that the angels are
indulging
in the unspeakable vice of the Greeks.
I guess full on Manwich sex might have been a bit too much for the
southern drive-in crowd that this thing was
inexplicably targeted at. Even at this PG level I can just imagine
that a lot of good ol' boys did a spit-take with their
Old Milwaukee (A Damn man! This a goddamn quar movie!!?). So anyway,
the P.A.s are on a cross country trip to
a big drag ball and along the way have loads of confusing hi-jinks
that include ignoring strippers while admiring
their outfits, run-ins with mean redneck cops (was there any other
kind of cop in the 70's?), and getting into
squabbles with a 100% hetero gang featuring Dan Haggerty of "Grizzly
Adams" fame. As mentioned before it's
all very confusing as the majority of the movie seems to be
improvised
and I don't think any of the cast was up to
the job. So basically you've got 81 minutes of a bunch of dudes
who look like the first 3 rows of a Molly Hatchet
concert flitting about doing impersonations of the guy from the
"Peter Pan" website. There's a wacky ending though;
The P.A.s (In full drag) and the straight bikers all get lynched
out of nowhere by some right-wing white supremacist
group while some bad folk music plays us into the
credits.

STAIRCASE (1970)
Homosexuality is only incidentally important in this drama of
dependence
and intimacy between
two aging hair stylists, and nothing shocking to staid and
heterosexual
sensibilities takes place
in this movie, a star turn for Richard Burton and Rex Harrison.
Whether the original play was as
patently offensive to actual homosexuals as this movie is, is open
to question. What is certain is
that it grossly exaggerates every unpleasant "fag" stereotype in
the books, However, the lead actors
skillfully make art out of these very same offensive tics,
demonstrating
the mysterious power of great
performers to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. In the story,
Charlie (Harrison) and Harry (Burton)
have been roommates, business partners and intimates for many long
years, and their convoluted
mutual dependency is every bit as complicated as that between any
aged but incompatible couple who
have grown used to one another over the years. Charlie thinks he
can do without Harry, but Harry
knows better and patiently bears the barbs and arrows that come
his way. One of the nicer aspects
of the stereotypical portrayal is that both men get to demonstrate
some beautifully sharp, barbed wit.

VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1967)
A cinematic take on a 1960s bestseller, Valley of the Dolls
traces
the ups and downs of three
young women as fame, booze, pills and men consume their lives.
Well-bred,
small-town Anne Welles
(Peyton Place star Barbara Parkins) arrives in New York eager for
fame but settles for a job assisting
theatrical attorney Henry Bellamy (Robert H. Harris). The job leads
her to cross paths with Helen
Lawson (Hollywood veteran Susan Hayward), the grand dame of Broadway
musicals, and Neely
O'Hara (sitcom star Patty Duke), an up-and-coming performer whom
Lawson unceremoniously
boots from her latest show. Neely lands on her feet thanks to a
series of nightclub gigs, and soon
she and Anne befriend Jennifer North (Sharon Tate), a buxom starlet.
As Neely becomes a huge
star of stage and screen and Jennifer appears topless in a string
of European "art" films, Anne
becomes a wealthy cosmetics spokeswoman and suffers though a
passionate
but failed affair with
aspiring writer Lyon Burke (Paul Burke). As the pressures of fame
and failed romance take their toll
on all three women, they take refuge in food, sex, liquor and pills
-- especially Neely, who becomes
downright monstrous. (The titular "dolls" are the uppers and downers
to which she becomes hopelessly
addicted.) Although the film's characters are fictitious composites,
Neely most closely resembles
Judy Garland; Garland herself was originally cast as Lawson, but
she was replaced after only a
few days by Hayward. Although the film's trailer played up the
story's
titillating subject matter,
the script for Valley of the Dolls actually toned down Jacqueline
Susann's novel. And despite the fact
that Dionne Warwick can be heard singing (Theme from) The Valley
of the Dolls twice during the film,
contractual snags kept her from releasing the soundtrack version;
a different arrangement later became
a No. 2 pop hit in 1968. ~ Brian Dillard,

Terrence Rattigan, the playwright who brought us the
multicharactered,
multistoried
Separate Tables, again offers us an episodic cross-section
of humanity in The V.I.P.'s.
When a heavy London fog paralyzes all air traffic, the lives of
several people are profoundly
affected. As indicated by the title, most of the characters
in this portmanteau film are of the
social and/or financial elite. Elizabeth Taylor wishes to leave
her enormously wealthy husband
Richard Burton in favor of playboy Louis Jourdan. Peripatetic
European
film producer Orson
Welles is hoping to escape London with his newest protegee Elsa
Martinelli in order to avoid
paying his income tax. Australian businessman Rod Taylor,
accompanied
by his devoted (and
adoring) secretary Maggie Smith, is anxious to head to New York
to stave off a hostile takeover
of his firm. And impoverished aristocrat Margaret Rutherford
(who won an Oscar for her
performance) would rather not go to Florida to accept a job as a
social arbiter, but the wolf must
be kept from the door. Before the fog disperses, you can be sure
that at least one of the many
plotlines will intersect with another. David Frost, in a tiny
part as a reporter, was fond of
recalling in later years that, while the major stars of The VIPS
were introduced in the opening titles
with animated limousines, he was consigned a tiny Volkswagen; alas,
no such cartoon joke appears
in the film, though on occasion the actors-particularly
Mr.Welles-behave
as though they were
cartoons. Mercilessly skewered by the critics, The VIPS was
a winner at the box-office,

his ability to say the most hilariously cutting and mean things
