...characters and situations for your episodic comedy about American life on wheels, you get: cute hookers, more bickering couples than a Bronx highrise, a town that paints itself pink, an elephant on water skis, and some funny car crashes. In a large, bland cast (Beau Bridges, William Devane, Teri Garr, Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy), only Beverly D'Angelo stands out as an overripe woman who can't say no, and for whom "the International House of Pancakes is the one consistent thing in my life." The rest of this Freeway is like 107 minutes of bad road...
...everything' these days is One from the Heart. A romantic comedy/musical set in Las Vegas over one Fourth of July weekend, the picture stars Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr and Natassia Kinski, and will be directed by Coppola. "What's unusual is that most of the music will have been written before they shoot," he explains. "So I'm working closely with Francis on the story and on the development of the songs.

...placid Burns from being upstaged; Reiner has chosen to cast him opposite John Denver, an innocuous, highly-forgettable country-western singer, and a company of lovable codgers from Barnard Hughes to Ralph Bellamy.

Suddenly, the screen shows a beautiful, starlit night in peaceful Muncie, Indiana. A five-year-old boy (Teri Garr) and his single mother (Melinda Dillon) are drifting off to sleep to the sound of crickets. Then strange things start to happen: the child's electric toys begin to stir, household appliances go haywire, and objects start moving about in the air. The fearless boy is amused and seems to notice a mysterious presence in the room. The commotion ceases, and the child's sluggish mother awakens only in time to run after her little boy who has gone trampsing across...
...pure Hitchcock?on an intergalactic scale. The hero, Roy Neary (Dreyfuss), is a Middle American variant on the kind of man-in-the-middle played by Gary Grant and James Stewart in films like North by Northwest and Vertigo. A power-company worker who lives with his wife (Teri Garr) and three kids in Muncie, Ind., Roy is engulfed one night by phenomena he cannot understand: searing lights burn him from above, a road sign shakes and twists, the contents of his truck move about in violent defiance of gravity, the needles on his dashboard dials spin past...
