Provo 84602 It Took International Talent to Show U.S. ByJ.T. YURKO The credits for “Atlantic City” list the movie as an International Cinema Corporation (I.C.C.) production. Win a director frum France. a screenwriter from the USA. and a producer from Canada. the group certainly qualifies for international status. The irony is that it took an international group to make a story about a seashore resort in New Jersey. ButAtlanticCityis not just another sandycity. It has a history which mirrors America, reflecting the country’s highs and lows with its own rise and fall. It is no wonder filmmakers would want to concentrateon sucha city. but the realironyis that this international group has created such a remarkably observant and highly entertaining movie on a city that is as genuine a piece of Americana as one of the hot dogs sold along its Boardwalk. Addto the international grouping oftalent a few decidedly domestic names. such as the film’s stars, Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon. (Another ironic note: Ms. Sarandon wasactually born in New Jersey. butin thefilm sheplaysa girl from Saskatchewan. Canada.) These two are such talented performersthat they takea finescript by John Guare and makehis characters memorable. Lancaster plays the role of ‘Lou’ — a two-bit gangster left over from Atlantic City’s last heyday. He nowworks for a penny-ante numbers racket. but mainly serves as boyfriend/bodyguard to Grace, played by Kate Reid. Sheis faded /jaded beauty contestant who cameto Atlantic City as part of a Betty Grable look-alike contestin the 40s. Living in the apartment next to Lancaster is Susan Sarandon. a clam bar waitress who worksat one of the new casinos springing up in the wake of legalized gambling. But the city’s rapid rejuvenation also brings a newcrop of people. including her drug-dealing Quality Women’s Fashions and Lingere by y A Quality Since 1900) # Fashion Shows Bridal Showers © tudividual Orders CALL FOR YOUR FREE COLOR CATALOG CONSULTANT- JAN SCHUMANN 374-0702 brother. and hein turn gets them all involved with some gangsters of the new. improved. decidedly Dial 373-1003 61 .N. 400 W. 80s type. Director Louis Maile likesto film stories about people andplacesatthe point of change. “Murmur of the Heart’’ (1971) shows a boy comingto grips with early adulthood. and Malle's last project depicted Brooke Shields comingof age in a timeof transition — the end of the Victorian Age in a Louisiana bordello. Atlantic City is now experiencing a change. and the film shows the problems inherent in any change — from those who simplywill not changeto those whose dreamsfaroutstriptherealities of the improvements. These are themes not limited to Atlantic City however. so perhaps only an international film grouplike I.C.C.. with its unique perspective, could makethat point and force those themesto coruscate across our conscience JOIN THE BEST MOVIE CLUB IN TOWN AT TAYLOR MAGNAVOX In The Univ.
