I felt because it is believed that he has gained will keep the audience off balance andon much more humanly interesting and goa". ro i + ae ae Sree ef A FT = EE cn et by Terry Dupuis Donald Sutherland gives one of the greatest performances of his career in a new suspense thriller called The Eye Of The Needle. The 45-year-old Canadian born actor first came to prominence in 1970 in Mash, but throughout that decade he remained one of my least favourite actors, mainly because I was put off to a large extent by the kooky slightly oddball characters he seemed to specialize in playing. Several years ago I sat up and took notice when he played the hero of the remake of Invasion Of The Body Snat- chers. that he was unjustly passed over t this Eye of the Needle year's Oscars nominations for Best Actor. Eye Of The Needle comes fast upon his triumphant performance in Ordinary People, and I am equally impressed with this new performance. His role in Eye Of The Needle is startlingly different from Calvin Jarrett in Ordinary People, demonstrating a versatility in Sutherland I would never have expected. His role in Eye Of The Needle is that of Henry Faber, a cold-blooded and ruthless Nazi spy working in Britain during World War Two who went under the code name "The Needle". Faber's weapon is a sharp stilette knife which he shows no hesitation in using during the course of his work. access to the Allied Plan to invade Nor- mandy. While trying to navigate a small boat to a U-Boat which is waiting off the coast, the master spy is caught in a violent storm and ends up being shipwrecked on Storm Island off the coast of Scotland. This remote island is inhabited by only a few people. Sutherland is found and nursed bath to health by a family who lives on the island. These people of course have no idea who the shipwrecked stranger is. Here The Eye Of The Needle takes on the dimension of an offbeat love story as the killer spy becomes attracted to the man's repressed unhappy wife. This latter role is superbly played by Kate Nelligan. From here on in, the the edge of their seats. Donald Sutherland at his very best The Eye Of The Needle is nace on a best-selling novel by Ken Follett. In some ways it is reminiscent of another suspense thriller called The Day Of The Jackal, but I find this new movie to be superior in most ways. I think the main difference is that in Day Of The Jackal, the assassin was an im- personal presence. We never really even got to know who he was. In The Eye Of The Needle, much of the story is revealed from the assassin's viewpoint, and Sutherland's marvellous performance brings it to life. We are also shown the viewpoint of the woman who falls in love with him, and the dramatically satisfying.
