too, had a neglectful mother An emotional powerhouse. A New World release. "The Buddy Holly Gary Busey gives the performance of the year actually its a dead on impersonation of '50s rock singer-composer Buddy Holly. It's a classic American story of a youth with a dream. Holly wants to put the music in his head on plastic disks.

"Peggy Sue," "That'll Be the Day," "Oh, Boy," and "Maybe Baby" are some of the records he made. Finding his roots in both white country singers and black blues artists, Holly helped create a new voice for the young people. Director Steve Rash goes easy on the highjinks and concentrates on telling us about the way an artist works. The best of the year's many rock music films. A Columbia releaser 7.

"Canting An unusual commendable Viet Nam War film because it focused solely on emotional battles being fought at home. Jane Fonda plays the wife of a gung-ho soldier (Bruce Dern) traumatized by the insanity of a corrupt war. Dern comes home to find that his dutiful wife has had her head turned around after meeting a crippled Viet Nam vet (Jon Voight). Fonda and Voight have an affair, and someone dies. In fact, all of the film's characters die a little.

Overlooked in all the honors this film has been receiving is the performance of Penelope Milford, a Chicago actress who plays the part of a soldier's hippie girlfriend. This is the kind of film you are glad someone made, just to have it around. Director Hal Ashby Last Detail" and excels at making us feel close to his characters A United Artists release 8.

A homicidal maniac returns to a small Illinois town and terrorizes three teen-age girls during one very long night.

A Compass International release. S. Another shock film, less artfully directed but with better performances. Anthony Hopkins is superb as a schizophrenic magician who uses a ventriloquist's dummy in his nightclub act.

Chasing success and then achieving it. Corky Withers (Hopkins) turns on others and then on himself. Watching this film, you wonder why anyone wants to become a star. It's not natural. A 20th Century-Fox release.

It. A west German film about a brutish young man who appears to be a foot, but is quite sensitive and becomes a foil for the world's cruelties and oddities. Abused by roughnecks at a bar, Stroszek (Bruno is adopted by a down-and-out prostitute and an old man, all of whom venture to America, pictured here as a land of missed opportunity. The odd trio is forced to deal with New York City (it's too fast; they can't take it all in) and with the crushing banality of life in a trailer in Wisconsin. A strange, funny, heartbreaking film that played for one week at the Film Center at the Art Institure.
