WHISPERING DIRTY WORDS in a girl's ear is one of the fool-proof secrets for driving a chick crazy offered by that cultural curiousity, How To Pick Up Girls. And plenty of good advice, too--if we judge by the audience of the London Madhouse Stunt Show last Sunday night--an audience that was reduced to a malleable jelly of shrieking girls by what seemed to be one endless train of obscenities, phallic jokes and frontal nudity...

To the actual habitues of Ohio State Reformatory, where part of the movie was shot, it sometimes seemed that the wrong folk were behind bars. During a between-scenes football game that included Gould, Caan and a stunt man, Gould caught a long pass from his co-star and celebrated by doffing his clothes and leaping around the end zone.

...Finley heard about a kid pitcher from Hertford, N.C., who had peppered his foot with shotgun pellets in a hunting accident. Finley descended upon Hertford, stalked the youngster, captured him with a $75,000 bonus and sent him to the Mayo Clinic for a foot operation.

But if you ask the woman at the box office what sorts of things people showed up with, she will refuse to tell you "because it might give...
Fatal Accident. The adolescent here is a runaway heiress (Melanie Griffith, daughter of Actress Tippi Hedren) whose obviously devious mother hires the shamus to find her. The search introduces him to plenty of colorful company, notably a movie stunt man, before he finds the girl holed up with a shabby stepfather and his mistress (Jennifer Warren) on the Florida Keys, where they manage a dubious-looking sea and air charter service. A traumatizing accident-or is it murder?-shocks the girl into docility and a return home where, doing extra work in a movie, she herself suffers a fatal accident...
