--N by TERRY DUPUIS In recent years there has been the odd case Of a movie which was made for theatrical release going directly to television. Even rarer is the case Of a movie which was made for television going into the theatres instead. But this seems to have been the case with a recent theatrically shown movie called O'Hara's Wife. At least, it had the look of a made-for-television movie. It's cast seemed to consist of almost all television people, including Ed Asner, Mariette Hartley and Tom Bosley. It had a short running time of less than 90 minutes, and it had pauses in the plot where you might imagine three or four commercials would be slipped in. The O'Hara Of the title was Los Angeles lawyer played by Ed Asner. Asner, Of course, is best known as television's Lou Grant. And he plays O'Hara exactly the same way he plays his famous television alter ego. O'Hara's wife is played by Mariette Hartley, who is most famous for all those Polaroid commercials with James Garner. Hartley bids fair in O,Hara's Wife to becoming the new Doris Day. The plot of O'Hara's Wife has the professional couple planning to take their long-awaited and much-needed vacation. The only thing is that Mrs. O'Hara suddenly takes some kind of a seizure in the midst of their packing. County immunization program With the passage of the 'Immunization of Unif reports. that 6,432 or virtually 100 percent 'Hara's Wife O'Hara and his son and daughter are told that Mrs. O'Hara will always remain in an unconscious state, kept alive only through the use of an ar- tificial machine. So the O'Hara's reluctantly decide to suspend her life support system. The grieving Mr. O'Hara returns to his empty house but he constantly finds himself confronted by his wife's ghost. Apparently, though, he is the Only One who can see her. At first O'Hara thinks he is losing his mind, but gradually he comes to realize that this is truly happening. Mrs. O'Hara continues to advise him on major decisions, as she had in the past. She encourages him to quit his job and go on a long vacation and she persuades him to make up with their alienated teenage son. That's basically the plot of this unoriginal and uneven comedy drama. The film is never certain whether it is supposed to going for the audience's funnybones or its' tear ducts. And it ends up going nowhere. This movie is also unimaginative and very sloppily made. There are at least four scenes in this movie in which an overhanging microphone is clearly seen in the frame. Why this movie would even be made for television is hard enough to fathom. But that is should be shown theatrically to a paying audience is almost beyond belief. parents of all children born in these years who School Pupils" Act it of all children born in still require = im- became compulsory for 1977 and 1978 are either munization. school children to be fully immunized or have Wm Gl Gr thre fully immunized against been exempted for lmmunization Act, the six cOmmon com- isedical or religious Medical Officer of municable diseases--_ easons.
