wednesday march 14 1984 mall markham movie scene selleck lacking as lassiter hydro safety stressed by tom newell lassiter is a pleasant innocuous heist film starring televisions reigning sex symbol tom selleck as the hero selleck takes us to prewar england where a for- tune in uncut diamonds is being funnelled through the german embassy in london in order to finance hitlers european and south american espionage network the fbi and scotland yard would like lassiter to intercept them as an estab lished jewel thief a refusal means hell be framed for an armed robbery he didnt commit if hes captured both american and british authorities will deny his exist ence and execution is certain a dilemma indeed and an interesting plot for a good spy caper jane seymour and lauren hutton co- star as attractive opposites in lassiters love life one a nightclub hoofer sara who keeps trying to reform him and the other a kinky countess kari wholl go to great lengths to keep him as is the film boasts attractive production values period costumes which are styl ish and colorful astaire and rogers dance music to enliven the party settings auto mobiles in the peak of condition lively ac tion camera work and authentic location shots aboard the orient express near co- vent garden and the albert and victoria monument in london as well as along the thames river miss hutton is effective as the malicious scheming countess and miss seymour is suitably lovely as befits the limited role of the heroine which brings us to mr selleck as mag num hes established every week in living rooms across north america and its appa rent hes hoping to become a screen star as well his first major release last year high road to china died at the box office and warners has been careful that lassiter will not suffer the same fate certainly the script is more than adequ ate the supports are there but im not at all certain that high comedy adventure thril lers are mr sellecks strong suit this is a cary grant role if ever there was one in fact i kept imagining to catch a thief or charade as the movie tripped along and lassiter makes you realize how deft and utterly charming grant was in all those roles selleck is handsome his size alone dominates the screen and he is eager to please but i think hes an actor still looking for a comfortable character which will bring him the movie stardom hes trying to find his delivery seems slightly rehearsed his size works against him in light comedy and what seems engaging on the television screen is lost on the large one in fact the sound system magnifies the high pitched voice the excessive violence is unsettling and the romance appears as anything but passionate ladies youll see more of selleck than youve ever seen before but im not certain that all the extra flesh will compensate for acting skills which seem for him a lot of hard work relax tom enjoy yourself and your au dience will too in the meantime well en joy lassiter as a cheerful adventure and look to see what you choose next time around lassiter is now playing at markville cinema three varied entertainment set for summerfest the entertainment committee has been hard at work
