as an actor charles lane is n't the <unk> of charlie <unk> 's spirit |
steve martin has already laid his claim to that |
but it is mr. lane as movie director producer and writer who has been <unk> with <unk> <unk> 's little tramp in a contemporary way |
in N as a film student at the purchase campus of the state university of new york mr. lane shot a place in time a <unk> black-and-white film about a <unk> artist a man of the streets |
now N years later mr. lane has revived his artist in a <unk> movie called sidewalk stories a <unk> piece of work about a <unk> tramp |
of course if the film contained dialogue mr. lane 's artist would be called a homeless person |
so would the little tramp for that matter |
i say contained dialogue because sidewalk stories is n't really silent at all |
<unk> marc <unk> a college friend of mr. lane 's who earns his living playing the double bass in classical music <unk> has prepared an exciting <unk> score that tells you what the characters are thinking and feeling far more precisely than <unk> or even words would |
much of mr. lane 's film takes a highly <unk> view of life on the streets though probably no more <unk> than mr. <unk> 's notion of the tramp as the <unk> free spirit |
<unk> in lovely black and white by bill <unk> the new york streets of sidewalk stories seem benign |
on wall street men and women walk with great purpose <unk> one another only when they <unk> for <unk> |
the artist hangs out in greenwich village on a strip of sixth avenue <unk> by <unk> <unk> and other <unk> <unk> |
this clearly is not real life no crack dealers no <unk> men selling four-year-old copies of <unk> no one <unk> up in a <unk> box |
the artist has his routine |
he spends his days <unk> <unk> or trying to |
at night he returns to the <unk> building he calls home |
his life including his <unk> with a competing <unk> artist seems <unk> |
he is his own man |
then just as the tramp is given a blind girl to cure in city lights the artist is put in charge of returning a <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> whose father has been murdered by <unk> to her mother |
this <unk> child turns out to be a blessing and a <unk> |
she gives the artist a sense of purpose but also <unk> him to the serious <unk> of his <unk> life |
the <unk> at the <unk> mission seem far <unk> when he has to <unk> a little girl into one of them at night |
to further load the stakes mr. lane <unk> up a highly <unk> <unk> for the artist with a young woman who owns her own children 's shop and who lives in an expensive <unk> apartment building |
this story line might <unk> more strongly if mr. lane had as strong a presence in front of the camera as he does behind it |
mr. lane 's final purpose is n't to <unk> the artist 's <unk> existence |
he has a point he wants to make and he makes it with a great deal of force |
the movie ends with sound the sound of street people talking and there is n't anything <unk> or <unk> in those rough beaten voices |
the french film maker <unk> <unk> has managed another kind of weird achievement with his story of women |
he has made a harsh brilliant picture one that 's <unk> about a character who viewed from the most sympathetic <unk> would seem <unk> |
yet this woman <unk> <unk> carries historical significance both as one of the last women to be executed in france and as a symbol of the <unk> government 's <unk> |
while <unk> <unk> with the germans during world war ii in the deaths of thousands of resistance <unk> and <unk> its officials needed a <unk> <unk> <unk> |
<unk> a <unk> <unk> was their woman |
she became an <unk> <unk> and continued because it enabled her to buy <unk> cocoa and other <unk> <unk> |
she was <unk> and in one <unk> job killed a client |
her <unk> was <unk> and brief |
although she was kind and <unk> to her children she was <unk> to her <unk> husband she openly brought her <unk> into their home |
as presented by mr. <unk> and played with <unk> intensity by <unk> <unk> <unk> called <unk> <unk> in the film was not a nice person |
but she did n't deserve to have her head <unk> off |
there is very little to recommend old <unk> a confused <unk> of the carlos <unk> novel of the mexican revolution |
most of the picture is taken up with endless scenes of many people either fighting or eating and drinking to <unk> victory |
i mention the picture only because many bad movies have a bright spot and this one has gregory peck in a <unk> loose and energetic portrayal of an old man who wants to die the way he wants to die |
video tip before seeing sidewalk stories take a look at city lights <unk> 's tramp at his <unk> |
boeing co. said it is discussing plans with three of its regular japanese suppliers to possibly help build a larger version of its popular N <unk> |
the discussions are still in preliminary stages and the specific details have n't been worked out between the seattle aerospace company and <unk> heavy industries ltd. mitsubishi heavy industries ltd. and fuji heavy industries ltd |
the three japanese companies build the body sections of the N accounting for a combined N N of the aircraft |
japanese press reports have speculated that the japanese contribution could rise to between N N and N N under the new program |
if boeing goes ahead with the larger N the plane could hit the market in the mid-1990s |
this is the year the negative ad for years a secondary presence in most political campaigns became the main event |
the irony is that the attack commercial after getting a boost in last year 's presidential campaign has come of age in an <unk> election year with only a few <unk> scattered across the country |
but in the three leading political <unk> of N the negative ads have reached new levels of <unk> raising fears that this kind of <unk> empty of significant issues is <unk> in a new era of campaigns without content |
now says joseph <unk> a pioneer in political television the idea is to attack first last and always |
a trend that started with the first <unk> of politics accelerated with the <unk> of the television age and became a <unk> art form in N has reached an entirely new stage |
to get people 's attention these days says douglas <unk> a political consultant your tv ad needs to be bold and entertaining and more often than not that means <unk> |
and unlike a few years ago you do n't even have to worry whether the ad is <unk> |
in N as often as not the principal fights in the major campaigns are prompted by the ads themselves |
take a look then at the main attack commercials that set the tone for tuesday 's elections in new york city new jersey and virginia |
new york city |
the screen <unk> with a small tight <unk> shot of david dinkins democratic candidate for mayor of new york city |
david dinkins failed to file his income taxes for four straight years says a <unk> male voice |
and then this television commercial paid for by republican rudolph giuliani 's campaign and produced by roger <unk> the master of negative tv ads really gets down to business |
mr. dinkins the ad charges also failed to report his campaign contributions accurately <unk> his links to a failing insurance company and paid a convicted <unk> through a phony organization with no members no receipts and no office |
david dinkins says the <unk> why does he always wait until he 's caught |
nasty <unk> says john <unk> mr. dinkins 's issues director designed to <unk> a case of political corruption that simply does n't exist |
<unk> by the giuliani ads mr. dinkins 's tv consultants robert <unk> and david <unk> finally <unk> a negative ad of their own |
the screen shows two distorted <unk> photos presumably of two politicians |
compare two candidates for mayor says the announcer |
one says he 's for banning <unk> bullets |
the other has opposed a ban on <unk> bullets |
one claims he 's pro-choice |
the other has opposed a woman 's right to choose |
funny thing says the <unk> both these candidates are named rudolph giuliani |
who 's telling the truth |
everybody and nobody |
it 's a classic situation of ads that are true but not always fully accurate |
mr. dinkins did fail to file his income taxes for four years but he insists he voluntarily admitted the oversight when he was being considered for a city job |
he was on the board of an insurance company with financial problems but he insists he made no secret of it |
the city 's campaign finance board has refused to pay mr. dinkins $ N in matching funds because his campaign records are incomplete |
the campaign has blamed these reporting problems on computer errors |
and says mr. dinkins he did n't know the man his campaign paid for a <unk> effort had been convicted of <unk> |
but say mr. dinkins 's managers he did have an office and his organization did have members |
mr. giuliani 's campaign chairman peter powers says the dinkins ad is deceptive |
the other side he argues knows giuliani has always been pro-choice even though he has personal reservations |
they know he is generally opposed to <unk> bullets but that he had some reservations about the language in the legislation |
virginia |
democratic <unk> gov. douglas wilder opened his gubernatorial battle with republican marshall coleman with an abortion commercial produced by frank <unk> that analysts of every political <unk> agree was a tour de force |
against a shot of <unk> <unk> on an american flag an announcer talks about the strong tradition of freedom and individual liberty that <unk> have <unk> for generations |
then just as an image of the <unk> of thomas jefferson <unk> from the screen the announcer continues on the issue of abortion marshall coleman wants to take away your right to choose and give it to the politicians |
