I MY TERM 1
A PAPER... M
V S
By BRAD ELLIS
The way “The Sting” was film
ed demonstrates as well as the
story does that confidence rack
ets are really complicated mind
games designed to fake situations
so completely the victim doesn’t
catch on to the robbery until too
late.
Director George Roy Hill uses
the particulars of film language
in a clever and purposeful man
ner which continues a run of sim
ilar movies from this director.
Hill has a history of interest
ing and delightful visual tech
niques which he used in “Judge
Roy Bean,” “Slaughterhouse
Five,” and “Butch Cassidy and
the Sundance Kid.” The tech
niques of the filming and editing
help sustain the mood the con
men work so hard to create. The
theme seems to be that con games
must be carefully constructed,
and recreate reality well enough
to trick someone into giving away
their money. It looks like these
characters just might get away
with it this time.
“The Sting” resembles “Butch
Cassidy” as Paul Newman plays
an older, established expert in
his criminal specialty, who made
a mistake once and is hiding out
in Chicago. Robert Redford is a
brash, young upstart, eager to
get into the big time and revenge
the murder of his mentor and for
mer partner by conning a New
York mobster so smoothly he
doesn’t know he’s been conned.
The total picture is set up early
in the film and not referred to
again, but acted out and portray
ed as if the audience should know
what’s happening. Without this
basic information a certain in
sight into the resolve of the char
acters to play out the act with
unfailing realism is lost.
Hill uses visual techniques to
initiate and conclude sequences
that are not precisely straight
forward; not the usual boring
fade or dissolve. He uses cute
things like turning a page to find
the real world behind it and spe-
Solzhenitsyn exiled
(Continued from page 1)
the greatest living writers, the
Kremlin stripped him of his Sov
iet citizenship, put him on a plane
to West Germany and banished
him to live abroad on the large
fortune that his books have ac
cumulated for him in Switzerland.
The banishment decree said he
was guilty of “systematically per
forming actions that are incom
patible with being a citizen of the
Soviet Union and detrimental to
the U.S.S.R.”
U. S. Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger, British Prime Min
ister Edward Heath and a West
German government spokesman
said Solzhenitsyn and his family
would be welcome to make his
home in their countries. But Dr.
Fritz Heeb, a Swiss lawyer who
has been the custodian of his for
tune, said he expected him to
leave West Germany for a north
ern European country.
Soviet sources in Moscow
claimed that Solzhenitsyn, al
though he had vowed never to
leave Russia voluntarily, had
changed his mind and agreed to
be exiled after talking with the
state prosecutors Tuesday night
and Wednesday. There was no
immediate comment on this from
Solzhenitsyn, but Boll told a tele
vision interviewer the Russian
WASHINGTON (/P) — A small
Texas college has offered Alex
ander Solzhenitsyn a professor
ship on its yet unopened Wash
ington, D.C., campus.
The offer by Plano University,
centered north of Dallas at Plano,
was made Wednesday by John D.
Hemenway, dean of the Washing
ton campus.
In a telegram dispatched to
Fritz Heeb, Zurich attorney, and
other friends of the Russian writ
er, Hemenway said he had been
assured by the State Department
that visas could be issued to the
writer and his family if they
elected to come to Washington.
Hemenway said in the telegram
that Solzhenitsyn’s professorship
would be located in Washington
but that he would be free to
travel and “continue your fight
for all humanity at a pace and in
the way you choose.”
Plano University, established
by Dr. Robert Morris, currently
has an enrollment of about 450
students.
