...CHITTY BANG BANG is a friendly, affectionate musical for all ages-between five and twelve. The first half of the movie drags a bit, but the action picks up once Dick Van Dyke, who plays a pixilated inventor, gets his children, his girl friend (Sally Ann Howes) and his car airborne in a glorious romp...
...which could spark a new war. Israeli and Jordanian artillery dueled across the Jordan valley. Arab fedayeen guerrillas mortared a copper mine and three Israeli settlements, killing an 18-year-old army girl. In reprisal, Israelis strafed fedayeen positions, and jet-escorted helicopters blasted a Jordanian police car, killing three security men. From Lebanon, long the most peaceable of Israel's neighbors, Arab guerrillas rained rocket shells on the town of Qiryat Shemona and a nearby kibbutz, killing two civilians. In reply, Israeli troops shelled the town of Rajar, and traded shells with Lebanese artillery along what...
...through the eyes of its main character begins to identify with that character, a point which for my money Bogdanovich disproves. Renata Adler wrote a depressing column suggesting that the audience, looking through the sniper's gunsight, wants him to hit his victims--just as the audience wants that car to sink into the swamp in Psycho although its disappearance serves only to protect nasty old Mrs. Bates. Nuts! An audience made complicit in wholesale slaughter by virtue of POV shots resists with all its might, particularly when they have no information about the sniper to render his rampage comprehensible...
Under the aptly named chief of its Public Security group, William Gunn, Bangor Punta is rapidly becoming the Abercrombie & Fitch of law and order. Fully equipped by the company, a cop could use a Bangor Punta Dominator radarscope to spot a speeder or car thief, signal him to stop with a Dominator siren, pull out a Smith & Wesson .38 and pull on a Lake Erie gas mask, flush his quarry with Lake Erie tear gas, immobilize him with Mace, bring him to with a Stephenson resuscitator, check him for alcohol with a Breathalyzer, and slap on Smith & Wesson handcuffs...
...contrast to the rather boxy Metroliner, the three-car U.S. TurboTrain is a sleek harbinger of the future. It was built by United Aircraft-which also manufactured the longer Canadian National Turbos. Each of the two prototype TurboTrains cost an estimated $2,000,000 to build. Powered by six 550-h.p. turbine engines, the aluminum Turbos are capable of speeds up to 170 m.p.h. At first they will be restricted to 110 m.p.h. Riding at that speed, the three-car trains can carry about 140 passengers in great comfort. They can round sharp curves at speeds 40% higher than existing...
