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,

the
finds a body and rile in
trunk, and ditches the car.
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.

“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.
