European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 2, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                On to Sarah Bottorff amp a Western has new films beat by a mile you May be surprised to  that the movie you la want to watch this week is not the splashy Star filled hijacking of the Achille Lauro or part two of hunk Harry Hamlin a favorite son miniseries or even Amityville the evil escapes a although the latter is pretty Good. What s Worth watching is a Black and White Western from the �?T50s, a serious lesson in psychology and Good acting called 3 10 to Yuma. It comes on an to on thursday morning and it s Worth setting your Var for. Glenn Ford is the bad Guy and Van Heflin the Good rancher although it rapidly becomes hard to make that kind of value judgment about either Man. The script is based on a Story by Elmore Leonard of All people a he s since been writing about murders and cops in crumbling late-20th Century cities like Detroit and new Orleans. But Leonard a style works Well in a Western at least this Western. Like most of the bad Guys in Leonard a Story Ford is a likable pragmatic killer unapologetic for what he does and faintly surprised that anyone s bothered by his crimes. Quot ill need to take your horses Quot he tells Heflin at gunpoint after he s killed a Stagecoach Driver. Quot Why Quot says the equally phlegmatic Heflin. Quot so you won t ride to the sheriff Quot says Ford matter of factly sounding almost pleased at the Chance to explain what he does and Why. That s a True Leonard criminal a professional doing his Job. And the film becomes even More Leona Desque when Heflin desperate for Money to save his failing ranch agrees to guard Ford and get him on the 3 10 train to Yuma after the outlaw is captured. What follows is an Odd twist on the Quot buddy Quot film Ford trying to convince Heflin to take some Cash and let him escape Heflin repelled and drawn by both the Cash and by the likable murderer. In the end its hard to Tell who a been captured and who is free. The movie is a particularly impressive film to watch this summer with the technicolor brat pack exercise Young guns ii Trie Best Hollywood seems to be Able to do for a 1990 Western. 3 10 to Yuma does t have Lou Diamond Phillips flashing his thick Black hair about or gratuitous violence but there a far More to see and think about in this 1957 film than the silly Young guns sequel. Besides the West always looked Best in Black and White. So Why not watch the hijacking of the Achille Lauro Well there s nothing in particular wrong with it but this docudrama about the hijacking by Young arabs of a cruise Chip filled with americans seems to be one Long scene after another of Guys pointing guns and flinging hostages about the decks. Yes it is a compelling Story told mostly from the Point of View of Marilyn Klinghoffer Lee Grant whose wheelchair bound husband Leon Karl Malden was killed by the hijackers in one of the 1980s�?T most repulsive terrorist incidents. But the film airing late Friday night seems to drag on and on a sort of an imitation of How slowly time must have passed for the real hostages on the real Achille Lauro. There a a Fine scene of ineffective revenge at the end but it does no to save the movie. Stick with the Western. Also airing this week a amen returns wednesday for a fourth year and Thelma a and the Deacon a Are determined that the reverend is going to propose or else. Will the reverend capitulate does he have any Choice a favorite son s second week finds Harry Hamlin running for president in this three part miniseries about politics that also features Robert Loggia As an Fri agent named Mancuso. Loggia went on to play agent Mancuso in an Abc series that did Well with the critics and fair to Middlin in the ratings last year. A Amityville the evil escapes thursday stars Patty Duke Jane Wyman and several other people who should know better. Common sense escapes along with the evil in this made for to sequel to the movie theater horror films but its Good fun. A Small wonder ends its season this week to the great Relief of Many. It seems unfair to keep to plus singling out this stupid comedy for abuse but invariably when you ask people what they like and Don t like on to Small wonder is the standout Don t like. Detest. Can to stand. A mighty mouse the new adventure coming on for a new season wednesday. Now Why is it that a cheap cartoon about a ridiculous animal can be so much More fun than an expensive miniseries about a wonder robot this mighty mouse stuff is great an update of the classic cartoon. Southern european broadcasting gets All of the above in late october. In the meantime this is seb s week to discover whether its audience likes brides head revisited. This lengthy Public television miniseries starting Friday features Britain in Between wars and a Man Jeremy Irons who apparently has no soul or ethics. It also features his upper crust friends who have All sorts of ethics they Are constantly violating and doing soul searching about. Sound Boring you catch on quickly.
