By PAT GRIMES “The Lady in the Car (With Glasses and a Gun)” (Campus) is a rather interesting package for the mystery set. The story is involving and cur iously unusual, not only in photo graphic presentation but action. It is not a suspense mystery, but does maintain your attention. Samantha Eggar is Dannie, a shortsighted (thus the glasses), 26-year-old secretary and “loner” working in Paris. Her boss is the stoic Oliver Reed. The complicated story begins slowly and uses flashbacks in several insances to help you connect the incidents. What dia logue there is is important inas much as it holds the key, as you would guess, to the climax. That word is a bit strong be cause everything just sort of languidly moves along, threading its way to a finish. I don’t know if this is standard Italian in trigue or not. Anyway, Dannie is asked to retype an important paper dur ing the holiday weekend and so must stay over at her boss’ house. The next morning she accompanies the family to the airport and intends to drive the car back to Paris — alone. The car is a new model Mercury con vertible in symbolic white like her wardrobe. She begins back, but unexpectedly decides she will go south to the coast. After several curious mistaken identities, a young man picks her up and within five hours they go to bed. They then continue the journey until he steals the car, tonight on the tube Numbers in () denote channels 15 (12) Campus and on the cable.

Meanwhile she happens upon the car again, sees the body and decides against going to the po lice because by now she doubts her own sanity. The young man reappears to help her. They decide to dump the body and pretend ignorance. The plan is foiled when lover boy finds a telegraphed message in the stiff’s pocket revealing Dannie’s asso ciation with this deceased Mr. Cooper. The trusting Australian boyfriend exits for good. Dannie calls her boss to ex plain about the car, the body and the gun, to try to connect something with reality. An ab solute denial of her being faces her from the opposite end of the receiver. Determined by now to solve this impossible situation she goes to this Cooper’s house and is finally confronted by her boss. The plot unravels at this point and the motives become evident at last. It is her in genuity that saves her from this “boring” weekend. Petula Clark sings the theme song, which gives a better account of the story than I do. 1 suggest that if you are a brain you will be bored. • Candle Shop • Bath Boutique • Stationery • El Cetera Shop • Posters • Paper Party Goods • Decorative Accessories • Gift Wrap • Gourmet Cookware > • Black Lights • Enamel Ware • Pantry fSill of Food Bottle Shop & • Poly Qptics “Little Fauss And Big Halsy” (Palace) deals with two types of people, the winner and the obvious (winning) loser. Robert Redford epitomizes the motor cycle “hero” with looks, charm, wit, luck and cynical narcissism. Michael J. Pollard is the very definite loser who gets the girl, wins the race, has self-respect (to go with his humility) and doesn’t surprise anyone in a classic American ending. Real ism is there, but dies an early death. I’d go on, but that covers the story in short order. Oh, the cycling across country is enter taining but otherwise the direc tor has stretched a fine point in presentation. Typical perform ances are given by both stars, but Noah Beery does deserve mention. You don’t have to see it to know you've read a book like it somewhere. • VolyOi, THE “NOW” MARKET, FOR ‘NOW’ PEOPLE 801 Texas Ave. Bryan 822-4670 announcing An International Festival of New Film The First American Showings Qf 26 Short Films from 9 Countries in : : KIM 1 \IIM a distinguished series of three programs presenting the new est achievements In creative cinema by the world's most tal ented film makers.
