There seems to have been a clear attempt to make an English Jeanne Moreau out of Julie Christie and to copy the magnificently tragic life of Ketherine in Truffaut's "Jules and Jim" with the character of Diana. The cinematics reveal occa-s-'onal flashes of originality packed in between the heavy-handed and obviously copied shots. And.

sin of sins, all fl-uvs are compounded by the 120-minute running time of this sad flick, which thereby flogs, flails, and finally beats to death a great theme.

Fails At Tragedy The film is trying to deal with an essentially tragic character, one that many of us know.

But it never attains tragedy, never touches pathos. The plot is superficial and horizontal, rather than vertical and probing. The whole question of Diana's character f) one physically exhausted and emotionally drained. The soul is cleansed and the heart's demons cathartically purged John Schlesinger's "Darling an all-English product with Joe Levine's money behind it (of leaves you just pljin tired. -Shown last week at the Xorthgate Theater in Durham, "Darling" has the earmarks of turning into a fine film built around a tragic person and an intense idea during its first twenty minutes lint then we rre led in an almost picturesque style through a series bf stock and repetitive episodes which never probe beneath the outer surface of our heroine's character.

In a recent interview Clark draped himself over a wooden table in the canteen of Avery Hall and described what it was like being a foot taller than almost everyone else. "My height is something that I gradually adjusted to," he said.

A lot of people have the same sense of humor. They walk up to me and ask questions like, "How's the weather up You have to let these comments roll right by. You can't let them bother you." "Last year Wilt Chamberlain wrote an article for Sports Illustrated. He received an awful lot of criticism for it. The article was really great.

If you're tall it was easy to understand." Clothes Trouble "Ever since the ninth grade I've had trouble buying clothes. People love- to give other people clothes for birthdays and on Christmas. There are only three things they could give me. Socks, jocks, and ties." "When I graduated from Fayetteville I was given 25 ties. AH were too short." "I received one in the mail only last week.

It was from a man who I'd never met. The card said, 'Good luck. Glad you're at Rusty took a sip out of his coffee and said, "I think I'm glad that I'm tall." Clark's 6-11 frame made him a natural for the game of basketball. His fine hands and natural coordination made his basketball exceptional. Last year he arched his body high into the air and plunged the ball down and through the strings for a countless number of points.

Fayetteville Star He led the Fayetteville High School team to the class 4A title. In doing so he received both the recognition of the High School All America Committee and bids from colleges and universities throughout the nition. The decision of where to continue his education and his basketball was a tough one for Clark to make. er normal life among normal people on earth. They Fall In Love She meets Robert Gold writer and noted television interviewer, they throw rocks into the Thames together, fall love, and leave their respective spouses.

When their union conceives a child, Diana at first jumps for joy but soon has an abortion instead and leaves Robert temporarily. She eventually betrays mm her boredom while he has to work, this time with London's version of Hugh Hefner's philosophy writ large Laurence Harvey plays the rich, despicable playboy, the most one dimensional character I have seen in a long time. Robert calls her a whore one of the film's good scenes, shot on the escalators the city's tube system, and leaves her. The playboy at least turns Diana to filming and modeling the process, even if only for TV candy commercials. A filming job in Italy brings her into the life of a widower prince.

She turns him down for interludes with insignificant boyfriends on Capri, but later rushes back to him, becoming Italy's newest princess as his bride. Bored Princess The cliches fall heavier and heavier now as we struggle into the fourth half-hour of the film Diana is soon bored with being a princess, maliciously suspects her prince (the most noble character imaginable) of infidelity in Rome, experiences neurotic loneliness in her huge palace peopled by pussy-footing servants, and, after an absurdly melodramatic clothes-ripping scene at her bedroom balcony, takes the next plane for London. In London, true, blue Robert (Dirk Bogarde puts in an honest performance as an honest guy) meets her at the airport, takes her home and loves her. xNext morning, to Diana's great disbelief, he packs her off for Rome. She thought she had at long last "returned Good ol' Robert knows better, he does.
