Entertainment Remake of French comedy is genial THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday February IS By Robert DiMattco In Movie Theaters COUSINS As remakes go this Americanization of the 70s French comedy Cousin is not too bad The original movie which took a surprisingly blithe view of adulterous relationships remains one of the most popular foreign films to play in this country The new version directed by Joel Schumacher St Elmos Fire comes across like a slightly hipper saucier version of one of Alan Aldas movies Its warm hearted with a ven geance risque with a constant edge of lyrical The complicated story is basically the same both versions A not-par- married dance teacher Ted Danson finds himself falling in love with a woman Isabella who is his cousin through marriage The catch is that both Dan son and are married to oth er people and their respective spouses have been having an affair Do Danson and Rossellini have their own affair Or will their mar riages be saved The movie proceeds to resolve this and other romantic complications involving a host of ex tendedfamily characters in a flurry of farcical picturesque scenes The French are famous for this sort of thing fostering an amused tol if not acceptance of infidel ity and making comedies on the sub ject We Americans tend to be more puritanical a fact that gives this movies collection of amazingly open- minded characters an edge of prepos terousness Youve seldom seen so many wise and world people in one family certainly not in an American movie The picture is a little drawn out and uneven with a dependably schmaltzy turn toward the end but it should please viewers who arent bothered ts sugarcoated philandering The chief acting asset who has never been so radiant as she Is here Runnerup Is good old Lloyd Bridges looking fit and handsome in the amusing role of Dansons salty garbagecollector mogul of a dad Chief liability is Sean Young giving a snippy snooty performance as Dan- sons beautiful shallow wife Young conies across shallow all right This could end up a good Saturday night date movie for battle scarred yup pies GRADE- W LAWRENCE OF ARABIA PG One of the great movie epics returns to the big screen where it belongs in the limitedengagement re release of David Leans portrait of turer scholar T E Lawrence Peter OToole became an instant star and figure of effete glamour as a result of his magnificent mance as Lawrence the cultured Englishman who brought together disparate Arab tribes leading their desert attacks on the Turks No film epic outside of some of Kurosawas work has such a complex protagonist and if Lean and screen writer Robert Bolt didnt always jug gle the dual needs of coherent specta cle and character they came closer to doing so than anyone else The best thing about this rerelease is the fine and noble job of restoration done by Columbia Pictures The mov ie has been restored to its greatness A nightmare on Street Local band DJs Nightmare was rocking at OTooles a popular local night club this past Sunday night playing to a decidedly pack ed and appreciative house The bands repertoire ranged from classic Stones and Hendrix to the mega popular Aussie band plus some of tbeir own originals As the band prepares for an up coming Battle of the Bands com petition in early March they are continuing to practise expanding their song list and are writing originals According to saxophonist Greg Fisher this band packs in the most music for your entertainment dollar Not a bad statement when one considers this band has had nothing but good reviews wherever they have played For a band that was put together at the last minute and with two- thirds of its members still in high school this is a pretty successful beginning and a prelude for greater things to come Daily Luncheon Specials Open For Sunday Brunch 11 00 am 2 00pm OPEN Tues to Fri 1 30 a 9 Saturday 9 00 Sunday 1 OOS 00 p m Under New Management WOODEN HEART RESTAURANT 56 Mill St ACTON

vigilante hero and sig a societal swing to the right Successive Dirty Harry flicks have grown increasingly formulaic This 1988 addition was a pretty skimpy affair San Francisco is once again beset by a mad killer The evidence points to a schlock movie director Liam whose idea of a fun time with his friends is to make would be death lists of local celebrities Harrys on the list too The big action sequence involves a remote control bombcarrying toy car that tears up and down San Fran Ciscos precipitous streets in pursuit of a real vehicle carrying Harry and his partner This movie should be
