...PALMA HAS CAST the film magnificently, with a keen satirical eye. Giving the lead roles to Kirk Douglas and Carrie Snodgrass must be his audacious reply to those who would put all-American zombies like Gregory Peck and Lee Remick in similar roles. Kirk Douglas's face has never seemed longer, and that dimple never more defiant. With the stature and angry leer of a depraved baboon (perfect for a DePalma hero), and a cuddly, newfound warmth, Douglas looks like a MAD magazine caricature of himself, and that is somehow very appropriate. Carrie Snodgrass, in her first appearance since Diary...
...stages the most powerful action sequence, the escape of Gillian from the parapsychic institute, in slowmotion, lingering over all the deaths. He characterizes his performers by how beautifully they bleed; a little snit in Gillian's school has blood dribble from her nose all over her lunch, but Carrie Snodgrass' blood splashes lovingly, lyrically over a windshield. Clearly, the more DePalma relishes his characters, the more he puts into their deaths.

...Ford camp's joy over Florida was considerably dampened by a scandal involving Campaign Manager Howard ("Bo") Callaway. He owns a two-thirds interest in Crested Butte, a ski resort near Aspen, Colo. Crested Butte wanted to use 2,000 acres of federal land on nearby Mount Snodgrass for a second, $45 million ski area. The U.S. Forest Service tentatively turned down the proposal in January 1975 on grounds that Crested Butte did not draw enough skiers to warrant the expansion...
MONDAY: Diary of a Mad Housewife. Carrie Snodgrass portrays a frustrated housewife in Frank and Eleanor Perry's 1970 examination of social-climbing in America. A movie that is less than the sum of its parts, some of which are very good. CH. 4, 9 p.m. Color...
