jjq by ian bailey the best thing that can be said about oharas wife cur rently playing at thornhill square is that at about 90 mi nutes running time its merci fully short much more of this earnestly well meaning but gruesomely inept comedy would go beyond being brutal and into the area of torture the film lumbers along bur dened by a story that has all the grace of a shackled bull run ning through a china shop here however the damage rings louder because of the calibre of the cast which in cludes ed asner mariette hartley jodie foster and tom bosley the only thing director william bartley succeeds at is humiliating his cast which is all the more irritating because they are usually likable in other vehicles the films title describes the character whose demise sets the narrative events in motion harriet ohara hartley the wife of bob asner dies of a brain hemorrhage shortly be fore they were going to depart on a long awaited perpetually rescheduled vacation howev er before you can shout heaven can wait bob sees her coming up from the base ment of their suburban home carrying several suitcases and preparing for their vacation whats the story here hasnt hartley read the script doesnt she know that she died two scenes previously not quite it seems she has re turned as a ghost a fairly tangible one at that who can only be seen by her husband this quirk allows asner to make a fool of himself as he re sponds to the nagging of a being whom nobody else can see its not terribly funny its pathe tic much of the film is the same boring its supernatu ral overtones are undermined by gross technical ineptitude more importantly though its thematic and emotional spirit is undermined by the clumsi ness of the screenplay the pac ing and especially the acting the film was allegedly slap ped together in 1981as a tv movie if it had shown up then on the small screen it would have deserved little more than a quick look and a flip of the channel as a movie on the big screen using the generalities of a family film label as an ex cuse for its flaws it deserves even less respect movie scene playing this weekend markville cinemas 1 terms of endearment aa a film out to do its
