Some moments of humor, some tragedy, some romance this has it all. George Roy Hill's direction is outstanding and the actors are uniformly fine.

It has neither the shape nor the form of a conventional movie; it is almost surreal. The film is basically a series of images roughly telling the story of an English boy, whose father is killed in the war, who weathers a sorry childhood to become a rock star. He then goes to pieces. Don't expect an orthodox movie, but surrender yourself to a powerful emotional experience. CAUTION: Some unpleasant images. GRADE: A. STILL OF THE NIGHT (PG) -Roy Scheider, Meryl Streep. ( Mystery sSuspense) A marvelous performance by Meryl Streep is wasted on a script that recalls dozens of movies and TV shows. It's the familiar one of the man who begins to suspect the lady he loves may be a killer. Director Robert Benton tricks it out with some gratuitous moments of terror, but nothing can hide the fact that the story is trite besides being full of holes. GRADE: B.
