...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...
...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...
Such disconnected nuances reveal a truth that formal history can hardly capture, and they are in absolute contrast to the craft of acting. In the Guinness film, Eva Braun was played as a glamour puss, vaguely resembling Dominique Sanda. The real version was otherwise: a giggling, curly blonde Aryan squaw, smooching with a rabbit, proudly doing calisthenics on the beach of the Konigssee, or coquettishly persuading the Scourge of History to screen Gone With the Wind just once again because she loves Clark Gable. Allowing for variations of costume and language, these domestic scenes could be happening today, anywhere from...
...leading roles were conceived for French Stars Jean-Louis Trintignant and Dominique Sanda, but both turned out to be unavailable. Bertolucci interviewed some 100 actresses for the role of Jeanne, finally chose Schneider because she seemed "a Lolita, but more perverse," and because, when Bertolucci asked her to take off all her clothes during a screen test, "she became much more natural." The illegitimate daughter of French Actor Daniel Gélin, Schneider has been a child of Paris' swarming Montparnasse scene since she was 15. Her prior professional experience was casually squeezed in between painting, modeling, touring discoth...
...part-which requires him to be devastatingly witty and mean, yet somehow sympathetic-is perhaps the most demanding that Bates has ever played. "He's got amazing colors as an actor," says John Frankenheimer, who directed him, together with Co-Star Dominique Sanda, in the recently completed movie Impossible Object. "When I found the script for the picture, I realized that I needed an actor with every nuance-comedy, pathos, the chaos of everyday life-and no self-pity whatever. I saw all these things in Bates' Butley, and I realized that only he could play it." Michael...
