Further proof that I no longer chew gum is reflected in my dismal record Again I batted 000 in attending movies whose perpetrators as the police say were awarded Oscars Or were they Edgars or Margies or Ralphs? Keeping track is hard Awards seem to be distributed every day for one feat or another But no excuse for failure to keep up I confess therefore that I saw none of 17 films I counted that involved award winners Am I in a cocoon or what? I would go to a movie to find out except that going to the movies in the television era amounts to double jeopardy Besides moviegoers can no longer make out in balconies There are no balconies not even a chandelier but only large crates in shopping malls I sat in one of the crates the last time I saw a movie Young Frankenstein I think I thought I liked it so well I decided to go again and try to hear it next time The crate was full of people behaving as though watching Make a Deaf in their living rooms Chatter was so constant I kept missing lines expressed by the animated figures on the screen The second time I sat up front I had a lot of laughs but I reeled out of the crate glassy-eyed and disoriented Everybody on the street looked like Tiny Tim I was as Churchill put it to my ankles in I remember whether Young Frankenstein won anything I could look it up but to tell the truth who cares? I liked it and liked it again when the film inevitably appeared on the tube even though butchered to shambles between commercials I care because opinions of the Oscar makers to my backsliding mind rank right down there with tennis scores and the Cup brouhaha In the heyday of Dustin Hoffman and Jodie Foster still hung up on Tracy and Katharine Hepburn The best show I saw last year was Anything Goes at the Vivian Beaumont in New York That dates me all right The Cole Porter musical has been around since reign I had seen Anything Goes before I see a lot of stuff twice maybe three times But I was lured to the Lincoln Center stage even undergoing the battle of Kennedy airport by the Broadway critic of the New York Times Broadway still thrives in the Times 4 orget the Colosseum the Louvre Museum and a melody from a sym- phony by the critic wrote Lupone is the That did it and the appraisal was right She was the top That brings me to another beef which helps account for my reluctance to enter crates To witness a stage presentation is to appreciate acting and script-writing the essence of drama since Sophocles Where are the actors and writers today? Modern moviesT risk watching on pay-TV channels most of them admittedly box-office bombs and therefore available feature effects instead of actors or plots Camera work as a rule is admirable Realism as in spattered blood and sex on the hoof is wildly evident But the actors seem made of tin The lines they repeat lack substance Scenarios seem woefully uninspired For all the special effects some truly awesome the acting and scenarios betray the efforts of amateurs as opposed to products of stage-trained performers and playwrights But maybe only me living in the past In search of objectivity I must get around to seeing one of the 17 Oscar movies some time But not today 6: John A Bouvier Jr developer lawyer in Broward dead at 85 to blacks In 1951 he and his partner Malcolm Wisehart decided
