Directed by John Irvin Playing at several theaters Running minutes Rating: Nudity simulated sex If as the song says what the world needs now is love love love then what the movies need now is fright fright fright On a literate adult level not one of those teenybopper ax murderer creepy-crawly things named after ominous days on the calendar The movies accomplished it last year with The Shining and now as one of the so-called 1981 Christmas biggies we have the aptly titled Ghost Story which opened on several screens Wednesday The film based on Peter Straub's best-selling chiller novel is rather tame on the shock level but it must be noted that when director John Irvin goes for his fright scenes those are genuine chills running down the viewer's spine 6 iiTk MLROPI ALL SWATS ILOO ALL TIMES

a son of one of the aged men plunges to his death after discovering the beautiful woman in bed with him has turned into a decayed and slimy apparition Well there's somewhere in horror surprise movies where a reviewer has to stop telling and just start recommending and I think it's about right here for Ghost Story THE PICTURE is rather convoluted in its occasional flashback tellings but director Irvin manages to keep things generally clear if not always' lucid His four elderly men are pleasures to watch work led by Fred Astaire as a study in liver spots rheumy eyes and fine acting ability John Houseman of course is a man of immense acting abilities and the late Melvyn Douglas in his last role proves once again that his best acting beginning with Billy Budd was in his twilight years As the fourth member of the group Douglas Fairbanks Jr does a very nice job in the shortest span of screen time Somebody has to be the first to go but we'll never tell how or why It is Fairbanks' son who has fallen to his death in Manhattan and it is a second son played nicely by Craig Wasson who comes back to Vermont for the funeral and becomes a focal point of the picture In fact Ghost Story soon belongs to Wasson and actress Alice Krige a Candice Bergen look-alike with whom he has a steaming but macabre romance She is memorable in the role and her erotically simulated sex scenes with Wasson are more responsible for the picture's rating than are the film's several gruesome shocker scenes Hardly memorable In the film is the puzzling appearance of Patricia Neal Just why an actress of her stature was signed and given billing for two brief scenes as Astaire's worried wife is beyond my comprehension Brooks: 1 ka Pan AAIUN DUDDY BIDDY Lk VABLIt' illAtiek0i'l MATT1AI Ili t)t)I BIDDY DDY EM

"I suppose it has to do with my personality" Roy Lichtenstein 1970-1980 at the Fort Worth Art Museum allows a rare opportunity to ponder the artist and the fruits of his labors Lichtenstein admits that his attrac- tion to historical styles such as futurism and purism resembles the fascination for dated fashion but adds: "Other styles such as cubism are too strong to be dated" Lichtenstein politely avoids the claim that he was one of the first artists to turn his attention to art historical subjects "Artists have always made work which refers F6MKRISIUFFEIIS() to other artists" The attendance at the opening of Lichtenstein's retrospective provid ed a selective yet telling view of this seminal pop artist who has his first major exhibit in more than a decade Unlike his flashy counterparts in the "pop movement" Lichtenstein has the aura of a private person While Andy Warhol carries about an almost mythical reputation Lichtenstein greets an audience that has few preconceived notions about the traits or character of the artist -77- -p A 41- 3 N't A ILL OVER (cC) 40RjortinCRAINS Nkomo WO 0 A Vow illimmodoslime Nagano TICHNCOLCIA 01961 Or PO Comely NI 1411s atoormt MENU C101111144ifini 1111ra NEMA VIM $MATHULEN16111 18206Hulen St 294-2621 I 30 al Cherry Lane 2465564 ittlAirCINEMA161 1820394dlordEultssRd 2843494 HwY 360 is 303 AR LiNGTON 60 303 I 2 ft 01100 TOE SUMSET I Citing unlikely sources for his art the artist explains that the mirror image which provided fuel for a se ries of paintings included in the exhibition came from a commercial rendering on the side of a cardboard box The jagged form-following line he used to indicate the gleam of light on silver in a still life came from a newspaper ad Lichtenstein pointed out that the limitations of commercial art in depicting three-dimensional form sometimes forces an intriguing means of visual notation that proves useful to his art Major exhibitions of this nature require cooperation from several parties American Express has contributed enormous support in underwriting the exhibition Area art lovers have two other good reasons to be excited about American Express' support of the arts: the recent Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts and the upcoming exhibition El Greco of at the same museum Stephen Halsey president of the American Express Foundation talked freely about the corporation's support of the arts emphasizing several times its obligation to the arts Although there is a growing consensus of critical interest in Lichtenstein's exhibition one influential recently referred to the exhibiLon as an example of a non-offensive crowd-pleaser in other words an outgrowth of the corporation-attracting Tut syndrome While Halsey claims Lichtenstein appealed to the American Express Foundation because he was the most representative of American artists it seems the exhi bition is more important as a study in art's current fascination with its own history and as a record of one artist's continued vitality One senses almost immediately that Lichtenstein is a man of great dignity He enters a room with deliberate slow moves responding to an introduction with a handshake and direct gaze He answers questions with considered and sensitive replies Imagine seeing 10 years of your work set within the framework of a museum Lichtenstein whose exhibition will travel from the United States to Cologne Florence Paris' Madrid and Tokyo finds that the show gives him an idea of which work has been most successful He adds that it also provides an idea of which works he shouldn't have pursued "but I won't tell you what that is" The painterly passages in Forest Scene are a rare exception to the flat applications of paint found throughout the show Even the most recent work on display interpretations of the brush stroke is rendered with flat paint Lichtenstein denies that we will see more of his already-infrequent use of painterly technique claiming it weakens rather than strengthens his work "I can go further with the industrial style" That mock-industrial approach to painting technique combined with mannered subjects which more often than not deal with art historical styles seems almost an attempt by the artist to mask himself Lichtenstein is like a chameleon assuming the motifs of various styles as if they 411 INS wit II 414 clir 0 1 A I 12 Who could resist sitting down to a platter full of tender top round roast beef?
