Lee Thompson, this particular tough character's paid to move a family... led by patriarchal scientist James Mason (with the brains to do a lot of damage if he winds up in Germany's hands)... into neighboring Spain, and the trek's a much anticipated, possibly lethal chore, predicted by Quinn's gruff Basque Shepard that Mason's crippled wife (Patricia Neal) doesn't have a prayer...</p><p></p><p>And there are two kids, supposedly teenagers... The first is the youngest in ultimately intrepid but initially reluctant, mistrusting and whiny son Paul Clemens (sounding as if dubbed at times); and then this film's exploitation-starlet Kay Lenz, who seems cast just to be nakedly manhandled and raped by Nazi villain's villain<i> </i>Malcolm McDowell, psychopathic scoundrel and star of that <i>second movie</i>, channeling his bratty and demented A CLOCKWORK ORANGE character so heavily he could call the French Resistance member Michael Lonsdale his "Droogie" which, in the Stanley Kubrick classic, means friend, compatriot...<br></p><p></p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yw0BkjvPf3lA9jgLWS_kdRCZuJQcK3Flmqp_BhXp7esy-nm9xl_QGy9ugIKhqlovp6hH_lXwgN5NE-NTmv3CrTZg-a5w45dWoHnLDJeOPJ3dVlkXRlLUb02krlvW5ohpV2iV8QLNB0Gk/s933/Screen+Shot+2021-06-30+at+5.00.16+AM+4.jpeg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="658" data-original-width="933" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yw0BkjvPf3lA9jgLWS_kdRCZuJQcK3Flmqp_BhXp7esy-nm9xl_QGy9ugIKhqlovp6hH_lXwgN5NE-NTmv3CrTZg-a5w45dWoHnLDJeOPJ3dVlkXRlLUb02krlvW5ohpV2iV8QLNB0Gk/w400-h283/Screen+Shot+2021-06-30+at+5.00.16+AM+4.jpeg" width="400"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Poster Art for THE PASSAGE</u></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Which is how McDowell's quirky killer Capt.

Meanwhile, real life war hero Christopher Lee's given a quick yet important Gypsy King cameo along with FRENCH CONNECTION assassin Marcel Bozzuffi, playing nice this time... Then again, compared to crazy Malcolm, they're all pretty affable. But at the same time both sides mean business. <br></p><p><span></span></p>

Peter Ustinov is the best theatrical Perot because he doesn't seem to be acting at all. His quirkiness fits like a glove, and he's intense and affably endearing: Set in an island paradise, EVIL is a sort of Busman's Holiday for the Frenchman, and the actors surrounding are a perfectly odd lot including Maggie Smith, Roddy McDowell, Sylvia Miles, slowburn and meticulous teenage newcomer Emily Hone and the legendary James Mason. Like in NILE, there's a good looking younger couple, and the man, played by Nicholas Clay, is not only prettier than his girlfriend, but Diana Rigg, as the pivotal Arlena — a stage actress who may or may not agree to star in a production, is... well... it's very tricky writing a review of a Mystery film since just about anything can be a spoiler...<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> </div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8Gs6Qvtx0ytIenIE6tpWzUsytDooIhuxYKPJEzTmN_rOhARbfIGxr3uOVnw-inenV4Tb0DEq4LoNR2UC1BOVHR5nTsIvmSiMHvo5ylYd7eDzMXKE82-aaFM2_7V8JcLgf9MRq6Xsf13M/s1600/15965428_254605734968610_5178713104048114744_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8Gs6Qvtx0ytIenIE6tpWzUsytDooIhuxYKPJEzTmN_rOhARbfIGxr3uOVnw-inenV4Tb0DEq4LoNR2UC1BOVHR5nTsIvmSiMHvo5ylYd7eDzMXKE82-aaFM2_7V8JcLgf9MRq6Xsf13M/s400/15965428_254605734968610_5178713104048114744_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>A patriotic cannon blasts daily at high noon SCORE: ****</u></td></tr> </tbody></table> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What sets EVIL UNDER THE SUN apart from its two predecessors is the tight, lean script wherein the characters are never stagy thanks to the gorgeous backdrop that's anything but in the background — to use a cliche term when describing geography, the surrounding is "like a character in itself," especially shots from the hotel down into the sunlit grounds leading out into the blue-green ocean. Other visual highlights include a patriotic cannon firing a loud shot at 12 noon daily, not only bringing together the eclectic band of possible suspects, each with an ironclad alibi, but it allows the unlikeliest of heroes a platform to splendidly <i>happen-upon </i>everything that "James Bond director" Guy Hamilton places within eyeshot and earshot for both Poirot and his audience. Making a second viewing not only recommended, but completely necessary.</span>

But what's really intriguing are the similarities with THE EXORCIST, which was being filmed when this hit theaters, but the book had been on the stands for several years...<br /> <br /> So for anyone who hasn't seen or doesn't want to see William Friedkin's brilliant and timeless GODFATHER of horror flicks, that opened the door for a number of slowburn Catholic-centered horror-thrillers, there are three particular characters: an old priest, a younger priest, and a possessed young girl.

Bridges proceeds over the "testimonies" of both men although one is sold as being far more likable from the onset; yet this opinion remains more decided by the students than we, the hyper-alert audience, anticipating a twist to occur, especially with a character (Preston) so flawless. Meanwhile, we're (through Bridges) the Jury being swayed, maneuvered from one side to the other: Preston is charming and understandable on a universal level as Mason has a tortuous life that can be pitied, even beyond the death of his mother.

Leading to a conclusion with so much buildup it begs for palpable closure. And yet, CHILD'S PLAY clings to words beyond action and an enigmatic dark aura over nail-biting suspense. In some strange way, there doesn't need to be any end at all. You can hear these two men speaking for days.<br /> <br /> Sure there could have been scarier moments here and there, or even a dugout of fellow priest/teachers introduced to individually buy the farm when they wander off alone through the spooky campus. (Alright, that's very 1980's, but there are pockets of downtime when a few deaths would have livened the picture.) Hell, even THE EXORCIST had palpable "gotcha!" moments: cinematic caffeine never hurts. But CHILD'S PLAY centers more on the dark hypnosis than what derives from it. Adding to one of several films using THREE main male leads to override a more conventional formula, intriguing enough to keep the viewer tuned in even after the purpose becomes all too clear.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxgaI60pfWZwQ_aFVzYwqOSryk-b3ar2WhteZmIC2-EShA1TqMHXsZd6B3qC4vW6evJ1TtTCAIFSVhjHRnzusSYAOABrkPExJw8mDXm4bYNWheDfFA1bxgdM9pZ7rxy6nyrWeNXJ8uPd7F/s1600/58380939_689252578170588_4107557604924850176_n.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxgaI60pfWZwQ_aFVzYwqOSryk-b3ar2WhteZmIC2-EShA1TqMHXsZd6B3qC4vW6evJ1TtTCAIFSVhjHRnzusSYAOABrkPExJw8mDXm4bYNWheDfFA1bxgdM9pZ7rxy6nyrWeNXJ8uPd7F/s1600/58380939_689252578170588_4107557604924850176_n.jpeg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Beau Bridges and James Mason in CHILD'S PLAY Year: 1972</u></td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE7dnPsm2FLdb_d3htRBJtCpsSTQTfYxA0tOZwSksVoqpOfE8Oq2i5ZZjrg9h8d3hZl_6efq4Zh5CgwR3NMFuQphFhvtZFFmxkf3OSFUjEPicPnJLJkfNBIL1WGAzpU1REqHAXdd7DVV9M/s1600/58373150_689264531502726_7606556118243868672_n.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE7dnPsm2FLdb_d3htRBJtCpsSTQTfYxA0tOZwSksVoqpOfE8Oq2i5ZZjrg9h8d3hZl_6efq4Zh5CgwR3NMFuQphFhvtZFFmxkf3OSFUjEPicPnJLJkfNBIL1WGAzpU1REqHAXdd7DVV9M/s1600/58373150_689264531502726_7606556118243868672_n.jpeg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Beau Bridges, James Mason and Robert Preston in Child's Play</u></td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusiPUC6p58tJxKWFulSyn2n_Tz031WYZs-K3Wk4P5P5PyiGp_-ZmVq8YT5AZ_FaymIFpoNbM_XWkUpzzBgDMj4B0XNPFSep9KfTwC9Bk4gSfBrsLJm3YxyyWzSSCpm9d0Cu30i9b_t0o/s1600/13330914_10209762737607587_3836383268092112766_n.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusiPUC6p58tJxKWFulSyn2n_Tz031WYZs-K3Wk4P5P5PyiGp_-ZmVq8YT5AZ_FaymIFpoNbM_XWkUpzzBgDMj4B0XNPFSep9KfTwC9Bk4gSfBrsLJm3YxyyWzSSCpm9d0Cu30i9b_t0o/s1600/13330914_10209762737607587_3836383268092112766_n.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Beau Bridges and Robert Preston in Child's Play </u></td></tr> </tbody></table> <div style="text-align: right;"> </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLlf_kOhcENwPXMI9vLSI-qS8JGKnuFTXSfZ_O55GvAxY3-D8RgwZ59Ikl4zzZh64xwCHPXsmapKGojk3oUptJVf5gCZ-X1lloGXVTOw4zTb9bVhk5ZYGMUhfZP_UJlcwwCfnmun2VTCNt/s1600/57541755_689269471502232_6271058251123523584_n.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="846" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLlf_kOhcENwPXMI9vLSI-qS8JGKnuFTXSfZ_O55GvAxY3-D8RgwZ59Ikl4zzZh64xwCHPXsmapKGojk3oUptJVf5gCZ-X1lloGXVTOw4zTb9bVhk5ZYGMUhfZP_UJlcwwCfnmun2VTCNt/s1600/57541755_689269471502232_6271058251123523584_n.jpeg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>The boys of the music man as Robert Preston faces Beau Bridges in Child's Play</u></td></tr> </tbody></table>
