Director Jerry Paris manages to ignore whatever humor there is in this situation. Ustinov is merely gross in the title role, Astin looks unhappy, and most of the supporting players-including Pamela Tiffin and Keenan Wynn-wince along with them. Jonathan Winters, as General Billy Joe Hallson, secondhand mattress salesman and head of the San Antonio unit of the Texas National Guard, has a couple of good stumblebum comic moments, as does Kenneth Mars playing a Texas Minuteman. But even they can do nothing about the witless dialogue and vapid plotting, which lace the comic moments in Viva Max with...

Another successful manufacturer is Wynn Oil Co., which promotes three oil additives, including "Charge!" The company was founded in 1939 by Ches-tien Wynn, a lawyer who mixed a homebrew "friction proofing" in a 55-gal. drum and sold bottles of it to local garages. Sales last year were $14 million. The Bardahl Mfg. Corp. markets 18 products in 82 countries. Its private owners do not disclose sales figures, but the company is probably third in size, behind STP and Wynn...

...tight ninety minutes. Leone spends most of his time focusing on the actors' eyes squinting tensely into the camera lens. The intent is operatic, but the effect is soporific. Stuck in this gluepot horse opera, such veteran range hands as Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale and Keenan Wynn struggle helplessly and often hysterically. But the picture, such as it is, belongs to Charles Bronson. A flinty character actor who has appeared in everything from The Great Escape to The Dirty Dozen, he plays his first important lead with commendable skill. Unfortunately, such an overblown and overbearing film as this...

Ince plays squash, too. It's remarkable that he had never played before coming to Harvard, and this winter competed at number four and number six on the best collegiate team in the nation. Some of the explanation has to be natural ability and the excellent coaching of Corey Wynn and Jack Barnaby. But probably the main reason for his squash success is determination, trite as it may seem. Ince really works at trying to improve.
