James Bond is back in “Licence To Kill”
Dalton ’s portrayal excellent,
closer to Ian Fleming ’s novels
By Don Atkinson Jr.
GUEST REVIEWER
“Licence To Kill,” the sixteenth
and latest Film in the James Bond se
ries, will surprise many moviegoers
nationwide. Why?
First of all, the Film features actor
Timothy Dalton portraying James
Bond for only the second time. Au
diences are still relatively unfamiliar
with him and aren’t quite sure what
to expect.
Secondly, “Licence To Kill” is the
First Bond Film not based on an orig
inal Ian Fleming novel. Fleming cre
ated Bond in 1953 with “Casino Roy-
ale.” The fact that a Fleming novel is
not at the heart of this Film gives it a
slightly different feel.
In the past, screenwriters for the
Bond movies apparently read the
original novels, threw them in the
trash and then made up their own
storylines. Many times the only re
semblance the Films had to Fleming’s
novels were the names of some of
the characters.
But in this Film, Michael G. Wilson
and Richard Maibaum, the screenw
riters for “Licence To Kill,” have
worked hard to capture not only
Fleming’s style of storytelling, but
also his flair for characterization.
Fleming’s James Bond was a dark,
deeply disturbed character who only
felt truly alive when he was seconds
away from certain death. He was
deadly serious about all things and
ruthless when given the provocation.
Bond also was deadly serious
about his vices, drinking close to a
bottle of alcohol a day and smoking
at least 60 cigarettes per day.
In “Licence To Kill,” elements of
Fleming’s Bond appear as Dalton
plays the character with a more in
tense, ruthless edge than either Sean
Connery or Roger Moore dared to.
“Licence To Kill” also features a
Fleming-like villian, amazingly sinis
ter and almost larger-than-life.
Franz Sanchez, played by Robert
Davi, adds a touch of real danger to
the Film, creating more suspense
during critical moments.
The Film begins with Bond at
tending the wedding of longtime
friend and CIA agent Felix Leiter,
played by David Hedison. Leiter has
appeared in previous Bond Films but
as little more than set decoration.
In “Licence To Kill,” Leiter now
works for the Drug Enforcement
Agency and has just finished arrest
ing Franz Sanchez, an extremely
powerful drug-lord. Shortly after
Petty and Heartbreakers
start Texas tour tonight
By Keith Spera
ENTERTAINMENT WRITER
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
will play a trio of Texas concerts this
week, and College Station is right in
the middle of them.
The First of the shows is tonight at
the Summit in Houston, followed by
concerts at the Frank Erwin Center
in Austin tomorrow night and the
Starplex Amphitheatre in Dallas on
Saturday night.
Opening all thYee shows will be
the critically-acclaimed Minneapolis
band the Replacements.
Coming off of a successful album
with the Traveling Wilburys (a
group that included Bob Dylan,
George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and
Roy Orbison) and having a solo al
bum, Fu\\ Moon Fever, currently in
Billboard’s Top 10, Tom Petty could
have decided to tour without the
Heartbreakers.
However, he is on the road with
the long-time Heartbreaker line-up
of Mike Campbell (guitars), Howie
Epstein (bass), Stan Lynch (drums)
and Benmont Tench (keyboards).
In recent months, the Heart-
breakers have been busy with pro
jects of their own. Campbell worked
on Petty’s solo album and the latest
albums by Roy Orbison and Stevie
Nicks; Epstein produced some songs
for Carlene Carter; Lynch contrib
uted to Don Henley’s new album;
and Tench recorded with U2 and El
vis Costello.
This is Tom Petty and the Heart-
breakers’ First U.S. tour since 1987’s
Rock ’N’ Roll Caravan Tour, which
featured the Georgia Satellites and
the Del Fuegos on the bill with them.
The current tour, being billed as
the “Strange Behavior Tour,” is a
relatively short one, having started
July 6 in Miami and scheduled to
end September 5.
Prior to the start of this tour, Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers started
work on a new album, which they
will complete after the current stint
on the road is completed.
The set list for this tour consists of
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
classics (“Don’t Do Me Like That,”
“Breakdown,” “You Got Lucky,”
“Refugee,” “Don’t Come Around
Here No More,” “Jammin’ Me,”
etc.), some Tom Petty solo songs (“I
Won’t Back Down,” “Runnin’ Down
A Dream,” etc.), cover tunes, and
possibly some of the new material
the band has been working on.
A favorite of critics and college ra
dio stations, the Replacements have
been together for almost 10 years.
The current line-up of Slim Dun
lap (guitar), Chris Mars (drums),
Tommy Stinson (bass) and- Paul
Westerberg (guitars, piano, lead vo
cals) is touring in support of the
third Sire/Reprise Replacements al
bum, Don’t Fell A Soul.
Music publications such as Musi
cian and Rolling Stone have raved
about the Replacements and their al
bums, but they have yet to capture
widespread appeal.
Opening for Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers may Finally expose
the Replacements to the mass audi
ence the critics say they deserve.
For ticket information on the
Tom Petty and the Heartbrea-
kers/The Replacements Texas con
certs, call 845-1234 (the MSC Box
Office, which has tickets to tonight’s
Houston show), 512-477-6060 for
the Friday night Austin show or 214-
421-5500 for the Saturday night
Dallas show.
Battalion file photo
Timothy Dalton and Carey Lowell in “Licence To Kill”
the wedding, Sanchez escapes and
gets revenge on Lieter by killing his
new bride and, in a scene directly
from the book “Live And Let Die,”
throwing him into a shark tank.
Considering that Leiter is the clos
est thing to a friend Bond has. Bond
is understandably upset and goes
about exacting his revenge on San
chez. Unfortunately, the higher-ups
in the British Secret Service have no
interest in Bond’s private vendetta,
so he is forced to resign.
Working as a rogue agent, Bond
continues to harass Sanchez by dis
rupting. his drug shipments. Even
tually Bond inFiltrates Sanchez’ op
eration and attempts to destroy it
from within.
