Just when we thought it couldn't be done, Murphy's Romance did it. It makes the grade as a high-qualit- y meaningful' funny movie without raw language, blatant sex or violence. I give it an The movie is romantic, sensitive but totally realistic. It makes you laugh. You feel good coming out. I went in expecting a good movie. James Garner and Sally Field are ffavorites of mine, but I didn't really expect to be entertained so well. James Garner is Murphy. Sally jField is Emma Moriarty. They are ibelievable in their roles, even ,though it's a first to see Garner playing an older man. The story is simple and the romance sort of sneaks up on you even though the title tells you it will have something to do with Murphy. The drama is touching without becoming sad and I didn't find any of those places where you say, "That's nice but in real life it would happen this way." If you're in the mood for a good story, some great one-line- and quality acting, go see Murphy's Romance. I just might go see it again. --as" 'X imam By SHARON MOKREY I haven't really made a judgement on "Agnes of God," as to whether it's a good or bad movie. I'm still trying to understand it. To preface, I went to the movie with a little prejudice in my soul because the previews had warned me it would be dealing with the death of a baby and a nun's insanity, I figured there wasn't any way I would be able to attend this movie and come out anything but depressed. I didn't come out so depressed as confused. Jane Fonda, as always, is en-joyable to watch. She's such an actress, she makes any role she takes interesting. I kept wondering why she did a movie, though, with a character that smoked as heavily as Marty did. Is this the Jane Fonda of the workout book? Agnes, played by Meg Tilly, is really strange, disturbed by events of the past and irrational in the present. I never did completely understand the scope of her illness and how Marty's dead sister Marie tied in with the Marie that visited Agnes from the spirit world. I didn't understand the spon- - taneous bleeding from Ague's palms or what the movie was really trying to say to-al- l of us. Is it a tragic spoof of sorts of the Virgin Mary story? Is it a bad effort to explain what the directors don't understand or believe? Or is it just a story that escaped my simple mind? It's a movie that's easy to watch. The characters are well-playe- d and the story moves along without dif- - ficulty. I think it will probably win awards for dramatization, screenplay and direction. If you like' Fonda, you'll probably want to see this one. Then maybe you could explain it to me.- Dietlef, Baker Thank Yo We the family of Ora those who took part in the lovely floral Nell Baker Dietlaf, wish any way in the funeral ferings and f, to express our gratitude service.

And all who called Seagerfan We appreciate all at the mortuary and for 'Joseph' production ; opens Feb. 12 at BYU The set may resemble a jungle gym, but it's not a playground for children; it's the springboard for BYU's magical musical, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." "Joseph" runs Feb. 2 at BYU's deJong Concert Hall. Tickets are on sale at the theater ticket office, BYU's version of "Joseph" is designed to bring a twist, a jump, and a chuckle to Biblical history with musical extremes and outrageously unique costuming. The action travels to the ends of the earth, from country-wester- n to calypso. The story line traces the Biblical tale of the boy, Joseph, his prophetic dreams, coat of many colors and sale into Egypt. It follows Joseph's evolution from a dreamer to a prophet. Created by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, the play has been an international favorite. Veteran director Charles W. Whitman, having worked with this same script twice previously, says the wide popularity doesn't make it lose its unique appeal. if it 'was a production people didn't like or if there wasn't something simply magic about it, it J'would be difficult to produce," he says, "but with such creativity and magic, we didn't have that problem." While "Joseph" is usually directed as a Biblical "spoof," Whitman says the BYU production is certainly not disrespectful. "There are in it moments to show spiritual insight and we're capitalizing on them. 'Joseph' is humorous but there's something spiritually deeper, too," he says. Scott Pickard is cast in the lead role of Joseph. Musical director Randy Boothe says Pickard 's is a performance that "brings chills." "Scott has traveled in-ternationally with the BYU Young Ambassadors and brings more vocal and dramatic power to this role than I've seen in other productions. The performances of Joseph in New York and London didn't compare to his." Vocalists Mary Fanning and Nina Warren are narrators for the production. Playing dual roles, freshman newcomer Marc Marriott will play Jacob, the father, and also the Pharaoh, "Marc is a brilliant young talent I found in my acting class," says ' Whitman. "He's really an amazing young man. I asked him to audition." Marc's role is also unique in that he'll be wearing a costume throughout the production. Other contributions to "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" include staging by Pat Debenham and orchestra conducted by Ron Simpson. Additional cast members include Alex Perez, John Powell, Trent Bright, Kelly Kuhnen and Mike Phillips.
