victoria in general release for several months it features the oscar nomin ated performance of peter otoole as the faded film star alan swann trying to capture former glories by return ing live to televi sion one saturday evening in 1954 otoole swept to fame in 1962 as the hero in one of the motion pictures greatest epics lawrence of ara bia other good roles followed re member henry ii in becket 1964 or a lion in winter 1968 how about goodby mr chips in 1969 then came a- decade of indiffe rent parts where upon in 1978 he re appeared in style with the stuntman another award nominated role otoole is an actor who requires firm controlled direction and for this richard ben jamin in year de serves full credit ostensibly the story of a television studio which is trying for top ratings and the staff involved year can best be classi fied as a satisfac tory effort intro ducing mark lynn baker as a young assistant assigned to keep guest star swann in line until his services are no longer required were it not for pe- terotoole lur chingrcareering and tearing across the screen evcry wrinkle on view eyes popping in an alcoholic haze the film would sink without mention the lighting is harsh the love in terest indifferent much of the script delivered in a rather frantic fashion but it serves as a vehicle for an actor whose talents are harnes sed to enormous effect in advancing the story several familiar faces appear adolph green who collaborated with betty comdenon such classics as singin in the rain and on the town and lou jacobi the toronto actor but it is otoole you will remember he specializes in introspective am- bilavent heroes and swann is no excep tion estranged from his family iso lated and lonely he fears every move drowns life in bot tles of scotch and frantic womanizing and suggests a lack of selfconfidence with every gesture given the framework and con- trol necessary otoole etches a memorable portrait of the faded jaded screen actor in de sperate need of
