'Grey Fox
Continued from P&gs 14
Star SO is a dark, suffocating film that doesn't
offer a lot of hope for much of anything. When
Snider finally does press the shotgun against Doro
thy's head, snarls "they did this to you," and pulls the
trigger, the feeling is more of relief than sorrow. The
only anticipation left in the film is waiting for the
brains to splat like eggs onto the floor.
Star 80 is the kind of film that leaves you feeling a
bit dirty, not the least bit entertained and, oh yes,
just a bit horrible.

The predictability is kind of fun in
this case, and it's hard not to smile
when Miner meets his future wife, or
when they finally get away with the
money, or whatever the case may be.
No stylized violence here. Director
Phillip Borsos seems preoccupied with
realism and authenticity. The faces of
the people tell little stories. You can
tell who they are from the moment you
lay eyes on them, especially the. lackeys.
After his release from jail, Miner is
reunited with his kid sister. Her hus
band disapproves of Miner, but he
reluctantly allows him to stay. He soon
grows restless of picking oysters for a
living and one night he goes to town
and sees The Great Train Robbery,
which inspires him greatly, to say the
least. "The Gentleman Bandit" is at it
again, only now the railroads are his
targets.
As Miner, Farnsworth possesses an
enigmatic screen presence. He has an
easy charm and a youthful gait, al
though the spring in his step is not
what it used to be and he has most
definitely been around. He is the soft
spoken western hero of few words.
Farnsworth was born to play this part
He walla effortlessly right through thi3
film. He's a big man and always seems
to be arnilir.g under his mustache.
Following a botched robbery at
tempt that leaves one man dead, Miner
ROOT
flees to Canada, where he meets Shorty
n r T U rpV .rv-. r knftt Via A in of
received their meager wages for work- I f j 1
a harrel factorv when Miner r ' '
11 -
recruits him to assist in the next hold
up. Shorty is a twitchy, hyper-active
gnome who will remain loyal for as
long as necessary.
While Miner is out riding his horse
one day, he crosses paths with Miss
Kate Flynn (Jackie Burroughs), ' an
independent photographer from Chi
cago. She has come to the West seeking
vocational freedom from the sexist
oppression of the East. Burroughs is a
capable actress. Her character is strong
and she conveys a Katharine Hepburn
type of spunk. She is a formidable, but
appropriate partner for Miner.
Frank Tidy's photography is remin
iscent of Days Of Heaven. The scenery
is breathtaking (the film was shot in
Washington State and British Colum
bia), with super-panoramic shots of
mountain ranges at sunset and the
whole bit. The camera is always in wide
angle, with the actors just wandering
around in the middle somewhere.
The Grey Fox is an original approach
to an all-too-traditional genre that has
been around since the beginning of
film. It is a pleasantly predictable west
ern that boasts a new star and a new
angle on an old story. The Irish folk
music has a western tinge to it and is
performed by The Chkftans.
