Streets of Gold hits paydirt

by Phillp Musselman

After his Academy Award
nomination for his work on Out
of Africa, Klaus Maria Bran-
dauer has made a commendable
return to the screen with Streets
of Gold.

This film is about an ex-Soviet
boxing champion (Brandauer)
who was not allowed to fight for
his country because of his
Jewish background.

Moving to New York after be-
ing barred from Soviet boxing,
he becomes the coach of a young
street fighter who is looking for

-a chance at the big time, but the
ex-Soviet has his eye on the
young man’s rival.

After finally gaining his se-
cond student he prepares them
both for top-rank amateur box-
ing on the U.S. team. The two
ex-rivals (Adrian Pasdar and
Wesley Snipes) work hard, gain-
ing a friendship in the process.

This film has a lot of good
moments, and the acting is quite
professional; although some of
the boxing scenes leave
something to be desired. The
story is commendable and the
film quality shows technical
competence.

I was fairly happy with the
film’s consistency and enjoyed
the moving story, which had
more strengths than weaknesses.
Over all, this is a film that I'd
recommend to the drama en-
thusiast.

appears to be a little too com-

_ plete in its happiness, and leaves

Jack Lemmon and Julie An-
drews play convincing roles as
Mr, and Mrs. Harvey Fairchild
in the touching That’s Life by
director Blake Edwards.

Harvey Fairchild (Lemmon) is
convinced that he’s ill when the
fact that he’s turning 60 begins
to get the best of him.
Psychologically he gives himself
several diseases, while in actuali-
ty he is a picture of health.

The subsequent developments
show Fairchild dragging his wife

(Andrews) and the rest of his

family along on his little romp
through unnecessary worry.

This film is true to Blake Ed-
wards’ style, and offers many
humorous moments while also

delivering some real messages”

best appreciated by an older au-
dience.

Each role was realistically
played and the family situations
seemed real enough to evoke
some thought.

All in all, this film seems to be
a relatively convincing image of
the conflict that sudden realiza-
tion of age can bring forth and
the other situations it can appear
to overshadow’ — as concern

little, if any, strings untied.
Perhaps the film should have
tried to leave some questions

unanswered, while still giving an |
image of mutual understanding
with which the audience could |

be not quite completely
satisfied.
