</tbody></table>
Eli Wallach, who died yesterday, was one of the great character-actors. Although in THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, his particular character, bandito/con-artist Tuco Ramirez, was hardly supporting...<br />
<br />
Tuco was really the pivotal centerpiece of the entire movie... Through him we learn so much, and scenes with his priest brother are actually quite moving...<br />
<br />
In this Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western classic, mostly remembered and revered as a Clint Eastwood vehicle, Eli Wallach brought ugly to the forefront, and it was beautiful! <br />

</tbody></table>
Among a string of eclectic projects spanning many decades, including THE MISFITS with Marilyn Monroe and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, Wallach was brilliantly cast as a hit man named Dancer in Don Siegel's 1958 Film Noir THE LINEUP, in which he played a sinister yet subtle marauder, described as a "<span class="userContent">wonderful, pure, pathological study,"</span> learning etiquette while he kills...<br />
<br />
Whether playing a villain, hero, or someone lurking in-between, he always brought a unique quality to his roles: that being Wallach himself... Through his expressions alone, something was always going on... Leading to an obscure counter-culture flick from 1970, and actress DEBORAH WINTERS, who played Eli's troubled daughter in THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR, bids an exclusive farewell to the legendary actor:<br />

In the beginning of Michael Douglas's thereafter-gigantic career he plays Carl Dixon, a free-spirit during the Vietnam era who returns from New York college life to a rural farm family that's harbored proud fighting men since the Civil War.<br />
<br />
The first act of HAIL, HERO! has Carl entering into his small Southern hometown with the kind of jovial personality that embodies aimless sarcastic abandon...<br />
<br />
First playing bull and matador with a truckload of Mexican workers and eventually being misunderstood by his uptight father, who gives him a nice clean haircut right away. From his era, kids didn't let their "freak flag fly." Plus it gave Michael Douglas, perhaps weighed-down under his famous father's immense shadow, a more mainstream and handsome look in spite of his carefree hippie character. <br />

The best scenes involve blond starlet Deborah Winters who, that same year, played a teenage rebel bad-tripping on acid in THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR. Here’s she’s a promiscuous country girl with a crush on Carl and a past relationship with his older brother, Frank...<br />
<br />
In the thankless straight man role, Peter Strauss might as well be Nick Nolte's uptight brother in RICH MAN POOR MAN. Strauss's Frank was crippled because of Carl and holds a grudge that enters into the final act, taking place at a big party where generations collide. But it’s one prolonged segment with Douglas and Winters, splashing around in a swimming hole wearing close to nothing, that provides something for either sex to enjoy.<br />

Unlike many counter-culture flicks, HERO is never too preachy or annoyingly idealistic. The soundtrack is large and brassy and the acting, including veterans Arthur Kennedy and Teresa Wright, is topnotch.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile the sporadic use of muted flashbacks of important memories – like Carl's father having an affair with the Spanish maid and the accident that changed Frank’s life – make this rare curio more interesting that it sometimes deserves to be, and, despite being dated and ultimately stagey, with a really bizarre and pointless midsection where Frank smokes pot with a hermit woman in a cave, what's really important is the introduction of Micheal Douglas, proving, as the son of legendary Kirk Douglas, that he could hold his own.<br />

<b>PROJECT: </b>BLUE SUNSHINE<b> PLOT:</b> A random series of murders involving psychotic bald maniacs who have one thing in common: they took a particular brand of LSD called Blue Sunshine ten years prior.<b> CHARACTER:</b> Alicia Sweeney<b> ACTRESS:</b> Deborah Winters<b> POSITION:</b> Alicia Sweeney is the girlfriend of Jerry Zipkin, played by Zalman King. Alicia has short blond hair, dresses exquisitely and embodies style and class. Even in a cowboy hat and large red-tinted sunglasses, she’s got it. Jerry, on the other hand, is a regular guy who wears a tacky brown sweater with two male reindeer literally rubbing elbows.<br />

<b>TRAITS: </b>Alicia’s no stranger to booze. Perhaps a few belts makes Jerry’s awful sweaters seem like knightly robes. She’s also short-tempered.  In one scene, a frustrated Alicia kicks an escalator.<b> INTRO:</b> As the film begins (following an opening credit montage), Jerry’s at a cabin party with his close friends when the craziest of the bunch suddenly bursts into an imitation of Rodan. Not the artist, the monster.<br />

Alicia’s expressions serve as an example to her importance within the storyline. Like anyone would be, Alicia’s shocked as Tony (Brion James from BLADE RUNNER in an early role) begins squawking like the monstrous bird, play-attacking the party guests, but she’s smiling too – because Jerry is with her. She’s safe. These are Jerry's friends. They can’t be that crazy. Well… Not yet.   <br />

A few minutes later, Jerry’s closest friend, Frannie Scott (Richard Crystal, brother of Billy) begins singing a Frank Sinatra tune and, during a playful scuffle, we realize he’s losing his hair in a grotesque manner. The wild-eyed Frannie runs out of the party – here’s where Alicia’s really concerned… But is she worried about herself? About Frannie? About the guests? No… Alicia is <i>only </i>concerned about Jerry. <br />

<b>GOAL: </b>Alicia Sweeney serves as much more than the main character's girlfriend. After Jerry is accused of murdering a handful of people that Tony actually killed, Alicia meets Jerry wherever he needs her. <br />
<br />
Writer/Director Jeff Lieberman points out on the DVD commentary how unrealistic it is that Alicia would know where Jerry would be, but in the age of payphones, he could have called her to meet him at these locations. And it’s not always easy…<br />

<b>URGENCY: </b>Detective Clay (Charles Siebert, who appeared in TARANTLAS: THE DEADLY CARGO with Winters a year later) realizes Alicia is the one to keep his eye on: where she goes, Jerry will soon wind up.<br />
<br />
And maybe he can trust her to do the “right” thing. To turn in her boyfriend before anyone else is murdered. But Alicia’s goal remains intact through their rushed and suspenseful hookups: protect her man from the man, and that’s that. <br />

<b>CLOSURE:</b> Alicia Sweeney goes from girlfriend/connection to damsel-in-distress when a really large ex football player, who works for the politician who had years before sold LSD called BLUE SUNSHINE which is now, ten years later, causing people to lose their hair and their minds. Well that’s the plot, and now for the payoff: One that involves Alicia in an important scene and a staple to 1970's pop culture.  <br />
<br />
Alicia had set up a “date” with Big Wayne Mulligan (COFFY's Ray Young) to learn more about Blue Sunshine and to clear Jerry’s name. She meets Wayne at a discothèque where he, after going berserk, chases Alicia across the dance floor where she hides inside the DJ’s glass booth. <br />

Since loud noises are the only thing that slows down these revved-up lunatics, Alicia turns up a disco record to an extremely high level.<br />
<br />
This becomes a plot device for Alicia’s character to thwart the villain… and the director’s nod to, during the punk rock explosion of the mid seventies, the "disease" called Disco.    <br />

Deborah Winters previous work, from a troubled teenager opposite Eli Wallach in THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR to Gary Grime’s assertive girlfriend in CLASS OF ’44 to a pregnant teen helped by Walter Matthau in KOTCH, is an example of her incredible range and power on screen. And you may ask: What’s Deborah Winters doing in a low budget movie about bald lunatics? <br />
<br />
Classing up the joint, perhaps. Giving the movie the kind of safety net provided by an ingénue who’s smart, strong-willed, and last but not least, beautiful. <br />

When the interview on the DVD commentary asked director Lieberman how Deborah Winters got involved in the project, Jeff replied: “Because she’s a good actress.” An understatement. <br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="background-color: white;">A
 psychedelic-era cult film about a suburban family with problems beneath
 the surface, headlined by rebellious teenager "Maxie," played by 
Deborah Winters who, when not freaking out on bad acid, scrutinizes her 
parent's shortcomings: like booze and hypocrisy. Eli Wallach is terrific
 as the drink-after-work patriarch, as are Stephen McHattie as the 
hippie son and wife Julie Harris, whose hard-nosed lecture to Maxie in a
 mental institution provides an explosive, and perhaps even effective, 
climax. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">But it's Deborah Winters alone, who, with a brooding reserve as 
intense as the drug-induced tirades, provides an underlying "vibe" 
throughout: where <i>anything </i>can happen... at <i>any</i> time.</span><br />
