Look at Richard Brooks' "Bite theEullet." It's been a few years since we've seen a western that didn't try to comment on previous Old West movies, critically or comically.

From the grubby "McCaba and Mrs. Miner" and "The Great Nortkfield, Minnesota to the comedy of "Blazing Saddles" and "Rancho Deluxe," the traditional western of broad emotion and oversized characters has been derided and condemned thruout the 1970s. Some said the western died along with John Wayne in "The Cowboys" 11972. But Richard Brooks, who similarly revitalized the traditional western nine years ago with "The Profes- sionals," has given old iMtFutcm MI- SUSAN GEORGE PERRY KINS KEN NORTON rtUffiUUJ 4th KSiiTH BOWOTOWM RICHARD BROCKS T''Al''lm'''U l'lt" tiVVm Open km. tommy LAST 3 DAYS!

Gene Hackman's character turns out to be simply one of the most decent men we've seen on the screen in a long time. THE ONLY PROBLEM with Hackman's Kindness to animals and other living things is that occasionally he appears too good to be true. But that's not a fault of the acting cr writing. We don't believe in truly good persons anymore, because cynicism and self-aggrandize ment have become the dominant themes of most movies.

A selfless human is a fool in the world of "The Godfather" and The Sting." Ultimately, however, we are convinced that Hack-man does exist, and ultimately it is his good will that our mind from victory to sport Hackman's humanism also enhances the characters of Coburn and Bergen. The two guys have an enjoyable conversation about competition while soaking their saddle-sore skins in a pair of adjoining bathtubs; in the film's best monolog, Hackman muses to Bergen about "the people people marry." It's one of many fine speeches in "Bite the Bullet," a film that should inspire more original screenplays. "Bite the Bullet" strikes a strong balance between majestic vistas and wise words, the very balance that has always made the great westerns memorable. FILM NOTES: I fail te see the reasoning behind the title change of Carl Reiner's comedy "Where's Poppa?" 1970, The film currently is being revived at the Marina City Cinema under the title "Going Ape." But in both the newspaper ads and in the theater's recorded message, the film is additionally identified as "formerly Where's If you have to reveal the original title, why bother to change it? Unless, of course, this is a two-step maneuver to change the film's title without further identification when it plays in more theaters at a later That way the utor could claim sufficient notice and still fool most of the people most of the time. Buyers, beware.

IF YOU READ thru that list again, youll notice writer-director Brooks has covered the major mythic human types. The characters include both sexes and all age groups, and their motivations range from short-to long-term happiness. The film covers a wide expanse of good-looking territory and climate, from snow-covered Colorado mountains to the white sands of New Mexico. Eight riders pushing their horses and themselves to the limit.

Both foam at the mouth. The dominant theme that Brooks hammers at, hammers a bit too hard at, is that for Americans, winning is everything. "Nobody remembers the losers," says one of the contestants. The film legitimately criticizes the winning-is-every-thing notion, but it does so in spite of Brooks' occasion-ally overwritten dialog. Like few films I can recall, "Bite the Bullet" does manage to make you believe in the joy of competition to the point that you actually don't care who wins the I honestly sat in the theater, halfway thru the picture, and.
