Canuck connection dominates the scene Victor Stanton Chronicle Special Here is an inspirational - though certainly not unduly referential - dramatic recreation of the life of the young man who is probably Canada's most-honored non-military hero, from just prior to his first learning that he has cancer and must have his leg amputated, to the second onslaught of the disease which ended his intended eross-country Marathon of Hope in Thunder Bay and a few months later would end his life. A surprising - perhaps even a record - number of new movies currently showing at area theatres have a Canadian connection. The movie, which was filmed in many of the actual locations where Terry himself had been less than three years ago, is well-crafted, generally well-acted and, though a little sparse in incident, fairly involving at an emotional level. The most significant, by virtue of both its actual Canadian content and its appeal to Canadian audiences. probably is The Terry Fox Story. _ . The portrayal of Fox by first-time actor Eric Fryer', himself a cancer amputee victim. is convincing and, at times, heartrendingly poignant. American actor Robert Duvall provides some professional strength as an Ontario cancer society promoter, and Michael Zelniker gives considerable dramatic bite to the role of Doug Alward. Terry's friend and companion on the Marathon of Hope. Director Ralph L. Thomas, whose Ticket to Heaven - also a dramatized version of true incidents - won Canada's Genie Award for best picture in 1982, seems a little distant from some aspects of this film's making. allowing for, at times. too slack a pace and some degree of story-telling superficiarity. General- ly, though, audiences should find in The Terry Fox Story a viewing experience that occasion- ally moves them to tears and leaves them with greater understanding oi, and certainly re- newed admiration for, Fox's considerable courage and achievement. 0 The 1983 Genie winner as best Canadian picture, The Grey Fox, also is a real-life story, one set primarily in British Columbia early in this century.

The title character is Bill Miner. who, after spending 33 years in prison for robbing stage coaches in the American West, became a train robber, initially in Washington state and then more successfully in the KC. interior. Portrayed by veteran American movie stuntman and occasional supporting actor lan Oscar nominee for 1979's Comes A Horseman) Richard Famsworth, Miner is a charming and likeable old rogue of legendary stock. Philip Borsos, an award-winning Canadian documentary film-maker, in his feature-film directing debut brings a somewhat "old- fashioned" stylistic approach to the screen that perfectly matches the characters and incidents in John Hunter's low-key screen- play. The Canadian content may not be as obvious in the ED science-fiction fliek, Spacehunter: Adventures In the Forbidden Zone, but it's there and in considerable quantity relly. American director Lamont Johnson keeps it actionful, after the fashion of old B westerns - from which many plot angles would seem to have been borrowed - and commendably doesn't use the 3-D process merely for repetitious hurling of objects towards the audience. The picture has no special charm, or even a dominant sense of technical achievement, but it is harmless fun that makes for a fairly entertaining family out- mg. The movie is Canadian produced, filmed in a 3-D process developed by a Canadian, shot to a considerable degree in this country (vir- tually all of the interior and special-set work was filmed in Vancouver) and features a number of Canadian performers, primarily in supporting roles of course. Spacehunter’s simple storyline of a profit- seeking hero setting out to rescue three stranded maidens from fates worse than death, and being aided in his quest by a sharpwitted waif and competitive rescuers, is purely juvenile escapism. Peter Strauss as the title character plays it laid back and rather tongue in cheek, providing adult audiences with another level of enjoyment perhaps.
