Ribbon cutting makes it official Moreland Lynn, mayor of Midland along with chairman of the board of Sterling Trust Neils Peterson work together to cut the ribbon that of- ficially opened the new location of h!Heavenl Dog by Terry Dupuis Human actor Chevy Chase and canine actor Benji might sound like a very strange co- starring team for a movie, but this bizarre casting works very well in a comedy fantasy called Oh-Heavenly Dog. In fact Benji and Chase play the same character in this movie, but as I said it's a comedy fantasy, and anvthing is possible. Private eye In Oh Heavenly Dog, Chevy Chase plays an American private investigator who operates in London, England. One evening he is laid up witha cold, but he gets a phone call from-his secretary. She tells him that a man wanted to see him about undertaking a case, and he said it was urgent. So Chase goes into his office that night to meet his new client..The guy says that he wants to buy protection for a young lady. Chase undertakes the case, and ends up getting murdered. It has been a frame-up. He awakens in the afterlife at a waystation, but he is told that before he can go on he will have to prove his worth by taking on an assign- ment. The assignment is for him to go back to earth and solve his murder. The only problem is that the only body that is available for him to go back in is that of a small dog. This is where Benji's role enters the picture. Misadventures Numerous complications and misad- ventures occur when the detective returns to earth to try to find his murderer. Oh Heavenly Dog is both an amusing comedy and a whimsical fantasy, in the same style as the hit Warren Beatty film Heaven Can Wait. In addition, Oh Heavenly Dog could also be classified as a whodunit murder mystery. Chevy Chase is a former television comedian, best remembered as a regular on the "Saturday Night Live" Show. He made a successful transition to motion pictures two years ago with Foul Play in which he co-starred with Goldie Hawn. Besides Oh Heavenly Dog, he recently made another popular comedy called Cad- dyshack. His next film will reteam him once more with Ms. Hawn, and it's due to come out this Christmas. Chase's costar Benji in Oh Heavenly Dog is well remembered by audiences for his starring role in several movies that were made by film maker Joe Camp. Camp, in- cidentally, is also the writer-director of Oh Heavenly Dog. Co-starring in Oh Heavenly Dog is Omar Sharif as a shady character whom Benji suspects of being a possible murderer and Robert Morley is amusing in a brief cameo role as a book publisher. Photography Oh Heavenly Dog contains some good photography of London, England, where the movie was photographed on location. (Midland) Sterling Trust at the corner of King and Hugel.
