Still Of The Still of the Night engrossing thriller by Terry Dupuis Master of suspense director Alfred Hit- cheock passed away several years ago, but the type of cinema which he did so much to develop lives on and remains healthy, judging by a new suspense thriller called Still Of The It must be admitted that murder thrillers have thrived on our screens for the past four or five years, but most of them have been of the blood and gore variety in which a group of teenagers are being menaced by a Most of these movies were long on vilence, and short on good acting or an in- In short, they had no class. Hitchcock's movies usually had class, and so has Still of the Night. It was directed and written by Robert Benton, the man who won Academy Awards for Kramer Vs. Kramer. And it stars Roy Scheider and Mery] Streep, two recent Oscar nominees. And the glossy photography is by Nestor Alamendros, one of the best in the business. This movie is very much in the Hitchcock tradition. Scheider plays a psychiatrist whose patient is murdered. The clues to the killer seem to lie in the recordings of the sessions this man had with the doctor. The psychiatrist reviews these sessions, and finds that the finger of guilt seems to point towards the man's mistress, who is played by Meryl Streep. When the psychiatrist meets her, he is torn by double emotions--suspicions that she 'might have been the killer, and infatuation the role which Scheider plays is very much in the Hitchcock tradition of the hero as an innocent pawn who becomes drawn by events into a mysterious and deadly game. One thinks of Cary Grant in North By Northwest or James Stewart in Rear Window. Then there is the icy cool blondness of the heroine played by Meryl Streep which is reminiscent of such Hitchcock heroines as Grace Kelly and Eva Marie Saint. Robert Benton is known as a director of comedy, for example The Late and as a director of domestic drama, Kramer exemplified. A suspense thriller is completely new territory for him, and he handles the format very well. Whether the many similarities to Hitchcock's style were intentional or subconscious in- fluences on Benton's part, I don't really know, but most of the Hitcheockian devices work very well in this picture. Two sequences in which are very Hitchcock involve a watch on a desk which the psychiatrist is trying to keep out of the view of a police investigator; the other is a sequence at an art auction. In addition to these episodes, there are many sequences in Still Of The Night which manage to create and sustain a high level of As for the acting, Scheider and Streep are well-cast in their respective roles, and the supporting players are equally fine. In particular, Jessica Tandy, a fine character actress who has been seen on screen more frequently these days. She plays the part of Scheider's mother, another psychologist who warns her son that he may be getting into something which is over his head.
