Acting marks 'Separate Peace'
The Savage fs still alive. There's violence in all of
us. How can it be controlled?
In A Separate Peace, now showing at the
CooperLincoln, this is the question the film leaves
you with.
Based on John Knowles novel by the same novel,
A Separate Peace examines two students. Finny and
Gene, in a New Hampshire boy's prep school in 1942.
Finny (John Heyl) is a gregarious athlete, Gene
(Parker Stevenson) is an introspective scholar.
Although basically different, both are drawn together
because each lacks the personality that the other
possesses.
The focal point of the film is a large oak tree which
becomes a symbol of manhood when Finny and Gene
dive out of it into a river. Finally one day the two are
both up in the tree when Gene for some reason jostles
the branch causing Finny to fall to the ground,
crippling him.
As the film continues and Finny returns to school,
Gene tries to tell Finny that he caused the accident.
Finny doesn't believe him. Neither Gene nor
the audience ever realize why he caused the accident.
As graduation nears, the grim reality of World War
II invades the school campus, muddying up the boy's
lives, and in the case of Leper (Peter Brush) an army
deserter, ruining it.
Heyl and Stevenson in the lead roles give human,
forcefully believable performances, considering that
this is their first film. In addition, Brush as Leper and
Victor Bevine as Brinker head a strong supporting
cast.
The period music by Charles Fox was superbly
handled, especially the use of Glenn Miller's "In the
Mood" at the beginning of the movie to set its pace.
On-location photography at Phillips Exeter Academy
in New Hampshire accents the film beautifully.
