Visibly shaken, but greatly relieved
to be out of the water, April May June
tried her best to act like there was
nothing terribly unusual about a mul
timillionaire coming along in his yacht
to save her from drowning. She had
heard so much about Dante Lavender,
and had hoped if she were ever to meet
him it would be under more socially
commonplace conditions. This kind of
meeting had been pretty well skipped
over in the etiquette books she read
through during her formative years.
What, after all, does one say at a
rescue?
She opted for simple, unabashed
enough," she said falteringly, stopping

There is some fine acting in this movie but it is
wasted on boring characters. For example, veteran
actor and director Dennis Hopper plays one of
Tanner's college friends who must supply his wife
with a generous portion of cocaine every day.
Hopper has few lines and plays a character who has
little to do with the plot.
Burt Lancaster plays the CIA head Dahforth who
has aspirations for the presidency. Lancaster does a
2ne job in a cliche role.
i This movie also may be a surprise for these who
expect a typically gorey Sam PecMnpah movie.
Fhcre is relatively little blood.
I However, if Peckinpah had a reputation for a lot
3f unnecessary gore in the past, he's working on a
reputation for unnecessary nudity. The Om is full of
pointless bedroom scenes which add nothing to the
characters or the plot.
Hie plot twists at the end of the movie make it
Tcrth shg to. If you're an action adventure movie
Tan and you dont care about characterisation and
you don't mind an unnecessary bedroom scene or
two, then the movie is worth your money.

to push some of her by now sticky hair
away from her face.
"Of course you cant," Dante said,
with the egocentric nonchalance of a
person who was used to a lift line of
doling out favors. "So instead of thank
ing me, you could join me for dinner."
April May sensed that this was the
kind of invitation one does not realty
have the option to pass up. "Well, I..."
"You would like to freshen up before
dinner," blurted Dante. "Of course.
Take a short nap below deck if you
would like. You are probably too tired
right now from your little excursion in
the ocean to start to fall in love with
me yet." - '
"What? Fall in love?: April said, be
fore she could even stop to assess
whether the remark would be impolite
at such a time as this. She stopped and
thought for a second, and quickly de
cided it was a question worth asking,
even under these circumstances.
A shipboard lackey of Dante La
vender handed him a beach towel,
which he casually slipped around
April May June's neck. Ves fall in love,"
Dante repeated, staring directly at
ApriL "You as well as anyone should
know how these stories end. You come
here with a male companion in good
standing to find romance. You lose the
aforementioned male friend, and set
out to reclaim him.
"In the course of trying to reclaim
this male companion, you come to the
realization that you don't really want
him. It is a horrible fate. Everything
seems to be going wrong with your life.
"But then, somebody comes along to
rescue you from this fate. At first, you
dont fall in love with your rescuer. In
fact, you may even hate him for a
while. In time, though, you fall in love
and the story ends happily. So, what I
am saying is go ahead and freshen up
for dinner . . . Mrs. Lavender."
