"Creator," currently showing at the
Plaza 4, is well worth seeing,.unless you
happen to be especially cynical.
It is one of those, entertaining films
humor and good acting.
The story line is involved but coher
ent. Dr. Harry Wolper (Peter OToole), a
Nobel laureate biologist, is a brilliant
eccentric whose major preoccupation
is trying to bring his dead wife back to
life even though she's been dead 30
blackmails Boris into signing on as his
research assistant.
While this is going on, Dr. Sidney
Kuhlenbeck (David Ogden Stiers) is
trying to get Harry transferred off the
staff, basically because he thinks his
eccentricities will get their grant funds

achieved through especially bright but Harry knows her identity, and so spent working out these premises.
OK, it sounds kind of silly, but it
really does work. Peter OToole is in top
form, anchoring the film with the sheer
charm of his persona. Even when the
script is thin, he can be funny or mov
ing, or both. Sometimes he doesn't
need to say anything.
Vincent Spano ("Babyj It's You") is
also very good as the young man finding
his place in the world.
Virginia Madsen ("Electric Dreams")
is a delightful puzzle. Since she is
arguably the most beautiful woman in
the world, it is hard to tell sometimes if
she is acting or not Who cares? Her
presence is so natural, it really doesn't
matter.
Stiers turns in a solid performance
as Harry's scientific nemesis of sorts.
Mariel Hemingway, on the other
hand, is becoming a bit tiresome. Even
though this character is a comic break
for her, she simply is not a comic
actress. Actually, it's really not much of
a part. In a way, she is overqualified for
it.
The humor in the film is consistently
warm, and frequently inventive, which
is good, because there are spots where
you can see it papering over the dra
matic shortcomings.
It's worth the admission price.
