Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, September 25, 1970 THE BATTALION Making the films with Bob stump Movies The story begins in the sprawl of a desert prison camp, where one dynamic black man exists among a horde of fools chained together in two’s and surrounded by rattlers, scorpions and dirt. It ends with the slaughter of a whole garrison of Mexican troops who have done their time guard ing a fortune that wasn’t there. El Condor is a massive stone fortress situated deep in the mountains of old Mexico, and well protected against attack by can ons and an elite set of guard troops. Within its high walls lives the commanding general and his blonde mistress, and around them revolves the life of chivalry that every military hero from the old school dreams of. The fortress El Condor is a majestic sight when first reveal ed. The visual composition of El Condor becomes superb at this point, and reflects the fine degree of artistry used in the filming of the movie. But even more beautiful in the minds of those who are looking upon El Condor for the first time is the thought of the shimmering gold madness that lies beneath her, casting its golden hue in the torchlight below ground. facts, a glorification of the com mon cowboy and his exploits. This style of overdramatic char acterization has become an in tegral part of what American au diences want to see in a western show. In El Condor, Guillermin has followed this stilted style and ex ecuted it with such perfection that the movie cannot help but to fall into the top of its class. Guillermin directs several scenes in the movie that are shot with the camera physically sup ported by a cameraman who is positioned right in the thick of the action. As such, you get drawn into the picture as an actual par ticipant. The result is an amazingly real istic involvement with the movie, making you feel actually inside the screenplay. El Condor is saturated with photographic clarity in each and every scene, giving it dramatic visual impact. There is one scene which particularly strikes you with its simplistic visual quality. To be sure, the course of events in El Condor far exceeds the boundaries of reality. However, in American western shows there has evolved an exageration of Jim Brown awakens early one. morning after spending the night in a small valley that has a shal low stream running through it. As he kneels by the stream side and washes his face in the cool water, and is illuminated by the soft early morning light, you feel an immense involvement into what is happening, almost to the point of being able to register the feel of cool water running over your own face. This one incident is typical of the style of photography that John Guillermin and Henry Per- sin have given El Condor. It is brilliant in color, dynamic in com position and dramatically able to involve you in the picture. The acting of both Lee Van Cleef and Jim Brown is good, although the roles they have to play seem to cramp both their styles. The movie fails to tax the full abilities of each, and you get the feeling they are capable of coming forth with much more meaningful performances. As the audience for the last showing of El Condor Wednesday night began to fill the seats of the Campus Theatre, I noticed several players from A&M’s foot ball team sitting near the front rows. Then about three rows behind them a student attempted to sit down while carrying a large-sized Coke in each hand. Unfortunately for him, he managed to spill some, 10 feet away from one of the players. So this player gets up from his seat, grabs the guy by the neck, and while muttering some thing unprintable on these pages, proceeds to shake the hell out of this cat who did the spilling. Then, to top it all, he picks up one of the Cokes and pours it out over this poor guy’s head.
