...LUMET'S FILM does not limit itself to playing out fascinating mind games. As might be expected from a movie based on a play bursting with totem-like symbols, Equus is studded with the type of rich imagery that will easily come to mind with the mere mention of the film's title. Many viewers of Equus will fasten onto the scene of the nude Strang riding a madly galloping steed, a union of man and beast thrown into relief by backgrounds that alternate between the darkest of nights and a blinding brilliance of light.

The talent was there, it simply was not used in the most effective way. For example, I believe Larry Brown deserved to be the starting quarterback, but to watch him run the football--a must for the quarterback in the multiflex arrangement--made me cringe almost as much as I did while watching Rod Foster, subbing for Eric "Endzone' Crone, try to throw...
