Topic: Rhodesia: out 1 hr Switch REPEAT After girlfriend of dies under mysterious By GARY DEEB Chks4 Trifcwiit Service If you saw Robert Long on television a couple of Sunday nights ago you witnessed a stunning example of maddening compulsion to transform everything it touches into a piece of sausage Of course if you hadn't seen the movie previously at a theater and therefore were watching it for the first time you had no idea that you had been played for a sucker Without getting into a complete review of Long suffice to say that it's a moody thought-provoking film based on a Raymond Chandler novel about private eye Philip Marlowe Elliott Gould plays Marlowe with laconic ease and a nice supporting performance by Henry Gibson THE MOVIE ends with Marlowe shooting and killing the slimy opportunist who betrayed him under the guise of friendship But not the way it played on the Sunday Night Movie' Viewers who had invested two hours instead saw Marlowe con- front his-adversary and pull out a gun Then they saw a closeup of Marlowe's face At that point ABC ended the film There was no shooting and no body Thus in what might have been most outrageous violation ABC actually changed the ending of a fine movie In so doing the network wiped out the whole point of the story not to mention the ironic climax that director Altman had been building up to The ABC censors defend their hatchet job by explaining that they ruled out sudden act of homicide because the movie provided "no retribution" for the killing IN OTHER words Marlowe got away with it in the original film and even though the adversary was a murderer himself ABC felt the lack of punishment for dirty deeds somehow would put networks in the position of advocating vigilantism pretty tortured logic But even if you accept the explanation the question is: If ABC executives are so concerned about being identified with a movie that supposedly advocates taking the law into your own hands why in hell did they buy "The Long in the first place give you the answer to that one: ABC purchased Long not for its value as entertainment or cinematic art but rather for its The network knew the movie had good reputation and therefore that it might attract a fairly large TV audience Actually this latest example of crude ABC censorship further points up to an amazing form-reversal taking place at that network For many years ABC was the most sadistic and exploitative network when it came to dishing out unnecessarily violent programs that appealed to vicarious-thrill ing galaxy Morning 6:00 Next Generation 6:30
