People who share our belief that Nixon should have been impeached months ago because of his assaults on civil liberties and democratic procedures--the Huston plan for burglaries and illegal wiretappings, the burglary of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, the apparent attempt to influence the judge in the Ellsberg case, his lies to Congress and the American people about the bombing of Cambodia--people who detested these actions should write to their representatives to call for impeachment...
...festival's highlights were, predictably, the well known American entries. Huston's Fat City, and Ralph Bakshi's animated Heavy Traffic. A British entry, Ken Lach's pseudo-documentary study of a family and their "maladjusted" daughter, called Family Life, also drew a surprisingly large amount of attention, attracting one of those impossible, unpoliced Italian lines where people stand three abreast, and little groups from time to time try to shove their way to the front...
...MACKINTOSH MAN is a triumph of the packager's craft. It brings together a trio of international stars (Paul Newman, Dominique Sanda and James Mason), an array of first-class English supporting players (Harry Andrews, Ian Bannen, Nigel Patrick), and a renowned director (John Huston) whose work is not what it once was-or seemed to be -but who remains a solidly professional moviemaker. However, a close inspection of the script could have saved everyone a lot of trouble. It seems to have been prematurely disinterred from a time capsule devoted to the cultural artifacts of the 1960s, when...
...previously banned tactics in gathering information on antiwar demonstrators, campus rioters, radical bomb throwers and black extremists. The tactics included breaking and entering, the opening of personal mail and the interception of communication between U.S. residents and foreign points. One of the plan's originators, Nixon Aide Tom Huston, pointed out in a memo that breaking and entering, at least, was "clearly illegal." The plan was opposed by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (for reasons not entirely clear, since the FBI has not been above breaking and entering in espionage cases); his objections were supported by Attorney General John...
...Mackintosh Man. John Huston's newest film. A convoluted and badly constructed plot moves British intelligence to send agent Paul Newman to jail, in order to infiltrate a ring which arranges prison breaks. Fine acting by James Mason, and beautiful Dominique Sanda, whose French accent sometimes gets in the way of her lines, cannot save this film. At the Pi Alley...
