Eng., Director of Public Works. I which probes the question of what hap- pens when a model group of Superior Court judges loses faith in the constitutional bylaws which they have sworn to uphold, and which govern their Jability to implement justice. An Academy Award winner as co-producer Of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"I and producer/star of "The China Syndrome," Douglas stars as Steven R., Hardin, an idealistie Young Judge who agonizes over1 the legal loopholes that allow criminals to escape conviction and is con- sumed by gult when he joins the secret proceedings of "The Star Chamber. " Also starring in this contemporary story are Hal Holbrook, Yaphet Kotto and Sharon Gless. Peter Hyams, a Dt lumm wrter/director 0 "Outland" and "Capricorn One," direc- ts. from a screenplay that he co-wrote with Roderick Taylor, from an original story by Taylor.' Frank Yablans is the producer. The Star Chamber it- self can be traced back to an English court' of law founded in 1487 by Henry VIL. It derived its name from gold stars which decorated the ceiing of, the room in which it met. The court did useful work in en- forcing the law where other courts for one reason or another couldn't, and in sup- plementing local justice. "I wanted to make an intelligent thriller, " Pete Hyams reveals. "I want the audience to be excited, but I also want them to .corne away from the film thinking. Although Pace may be the most critical element i a film like this, you also want to keep the audlence's sen- sors tuned into the hero's dilemma and somehow feel affected by the conflicts that gnaw at bis conscien- ce." These conflicts emanate from the character of* Judge Steven R. Hardin, whose participation in the clandestine workings of "The Star Chamber" ultimately endangers bis life. In dramatizing his hero's jeopardy, Hyams -- a noted craftsman -- creates visceral suspen- se and tension. A director whose background as a painter instilîs in him a special sense of light and color and their dramatic im- pact, Hyams personally illustrated every angle from which the camera could shoot months before production, changing the sketches as he changed the script. He redesigned a revolutionary daylight key lamp wbich lie had used i England on a previous shoot, adap- ting it to the outdoor lighting problems he could encounter with "The Star Chamber." He also styled . the movie with an in- novative use of light beams for esterior scenes, increasing their depth and perception by infusing the entire set with a haze manufac- tured by boiling mineraI oil. "'Tve always, used smoke because it is the way 1 draw, " .says Hyams. "It is the idea of feeling an atmosphere. What it does to' light sources' is soften the contrast. I think it is wonderful looking."' The result of Hyams' technical innovations is evident in the film's ominous atmosphere and riveting- action sequences. Simultan- eously, the film fun- ctions as a ýhought- provoking drama. "The Star Cham- ber" 's topical story probes the question of what happens when a model group, of Superior Court veterans loses faith in 'the con- stitutional bylaws that they have been sworn to uphold, and which govern their ability to implement justice.
