(bulletin &ktvtteUn*Kod fyticU,)
“Silver Streak” is a moderately entertaining mystery-comedy which seems
to owe a debt to Alfred Hitchcock’s “North By Northwest.” Gene Wilder
plays a mild-mannered young editor who boards a Chicago-bound train in Los
Angeles and soon finds himself romantically involved, as they say, with a
beautiful young girl, an attachment that in short order has him embroiled
with a suave villian (Patrick McGoohan), assorted thugs, a federal agent, and
various other people. As in Hitchcock, the harassed innocent fights back at
last, and all ends happily with a spectacular smash-up at Chicago’s Union
Station.
The film’s strongest point is probably the train ride itself, which is a
refreshing novelty, especially when in movie after movie we are treated to all
that footage devoted to jets taking off and landing. And then there is all
that beautiful and varied American scenery, which Director Arthur Hiller
makes such good use of.
RIDING THE RAILS ON A MAD
ADVENTURE are Richard Pryor,
Jill Clayburgh, Scatman Crothers and
Gene Wilder in “Silver Streak,” a
20th Century-Fox comedy set
aboard a luxury train.
La Mision: Testimonio Comunitario
“Silver Streak’s” main
weakness, on the Other
hand, is an uncertainty of
tone, veering uneasily as it
does from straight comedy,
with Wilder as an inept,
frightened hero, to
conventional melodrama
and romance. Cary Grant
might be able to negotiate
a transition like this, but
Wilder seems lost in the
role. Often he strikes one
more as a man indulging in
wish fulfillment than a
credible actor.
Jill Clayburgh, however,
is just fine as the heroine,
although for the last
two-thirds of the film she
has little to do but ask a
battered Wilder: “Are you
all right?’’ Patrick
McGoohan seems hard put
to keep a straight face as
the villian and he does
little else but that. Given
the absurdity of his role,
however, he can hardly be
blamed. Ned Beatty has a
few good moments as the
federal agent. Richard
Pryor gives the film a great
lift when he makes his
all-too-late entrance as a
most unlikely ally of
Wilder. His role as written
strains one’s suspension of
belief to beyond the
breaking point, but Pryor’s
marvelous face and superb
sense of comic timing
enable him to triumph over
little details of that sort.
“Silver Streak” is
essentially harmless, but a
few ill-advised obscenties
and a needlessly graphic
and rather badly done love
scene make an aduit rating
necessary.
****
SINCE AMERICAN
VIEWERS were first
introduced to this British
series some three years ago,
the drama of the Bellamy
family and their servants
living “below stairs” has
won a devoted if not large
following. The fourth and
final season in 16 episodes
of “Upstairs, Downstairs”
begins this Sunday, Jan.
16, at 9:00-10:00 p.m. on
PBS Channels, 8 and 30 in
the archdiocese.
Whether you have
followed the series from its
start in the Edwardian
London of 1903 or are
just tuning in for the first
time makes little difference
because each episode is a
self-contained drama, a
single chapter in a
continuing picture of life
at the turn of the century.
Of course, if you have
watched the previous
shows, you have a greater
sense of the personalities,
situations and inter-relation
ships in which the series is
so rich. If you have never
seen it, this Sunday’s
episode provides a good
opportunity to sample the
pleasures the series offers.
Opening the show is a
brief recapitulation of
highlights from the previous
series which serves to
introduce all the main
characters as well. as the
historical period. The
action begins with the June
1919 victory parade
celebrating the end of the
Great War. Lord Bellamy
has remarried and the great
house in London’s
fashionable Belgravia district
has only two upstairs
occupants: Bellamy’s war
hero son, James, and a
family friend. Downstairs
the butler, Mr. Hudson
(Gordon Jackson), the
cook, Mrs. Bridges (Angela
Baddeley), the maid Rose
(Jean Marsh) and three
other servants carry on
knowing that a full staff is
no longer needed and that
their future is in jeopardy.
By the end of this first
episode, a solution has
been found that will keep
them all on staff and in
addition employ two
former servants who are
out of work.
The remaining episodes
revolve mainly around
James Bellamy who follows
his father into Tory
politics, gets involved with
an old flame, and takes a
beating playing the
stockmarket. There is even
more drama in the lives of
the servants who are tom
between old loyalties and
their own self-interest in
the midst of the social
ferment and hectic changes
of the post-war era.
Underlying the glitter of
the Twenties was a great
deal of poverty,
dis-illusionment, and
blighted hopes for a better
future. The war had
broken down the strict
class structure of English
life but for most citizens
there was little chance for
economic betterment.
The greatest strength of
this series has been its
presentation of an historic
era through the eyes of a
single household, family
and servants. By relating
the private lives of these
people to the social and
political events of their
day, these stories have a
dimension far deeper than
the sentimental veneer of
the usual soap opera. The
result may be backstairs
history but, by showing
both the upstairs masters
and the downstairs
domestics, its dual vision
of the past affords a
broader and deeper
understanding of an age in
which our own has its
roots.
As usual, the debonair
and urbane Alistair Cooke
introduces each program
with succinct mini-essays
on various aspects of the
historical period. They help
bring the story’s
background into sharper
focus and add thereby to
the enjoyment of the
series. One also learns a
little bit of history
painlessly but it’s only one
of the dividends that
comes with watching
“Upstairs, Downstairs.”

POR JOSE MONTERO
Por segundo vez en
nuestra comunidad hispana
de Atlanta hablamos de
una Mision, y, al hacerio,
nos damos cuenta de la
rapidez con que hemos
quernado un ano.
Efectivament, casi esta
todavia reciente el impacto
de aquel llenazo del ultimo
dia de la primera Mision,
cuando ya estamos
hablando de la segunda. Y
sin embargo, decimos, ha
pasado un ano. Un ano,
con un monton de
acontecimientos en nuestras
vidas y con una infinidad
de gracias del Senor, no
siendo la menor la Mision
de 1976.
No sabemos si lo
merecemos o no; si hemos
sido fieles a los propositos
de entonces, o no; ni si
hemos mantenido el calor
de Dios en el alma y
hecho fructificar la semilla
que Dios sembro. No
sabemos si lo merecemos o
no, pero Dios es asi, y,
una vez mas, con un amor
inmenso, viene de nuevo a
nosotros con la gracia
extraordinaria de una
segunda Mision. Mision que,
como deciamos el ano
pasado, es basicamente una
invitacion y una 11am ada a
la amistad con Dios, al
perdon, a la reconciliacion
y al crecimiento en la
caridad y en la paz.
Hace un ano, nuestra
comunidad catolica
testimonio de un modo
masivo su hambre de Dios,
su deseo de recibir la
Palabra, dando prueba de
su generosidad y de su
ansia de .fratemizar en el
Senor en un clima de
espiritual alegria, durante
los breves dias de la
Mision. Es posible, sin
embargo, que en aquella
ocasion todavia quedaran
muchos que, por diversas
razones, no pudieran
participar personalmente en
la Mision. Pues bien, para
estos muy particularmente
y para todos los que
tuvimos la suerte de vivir
aquella experiencia
extraordinaria va a
celebrarse la segunda Mision
Catolica Hispana de
Atlanta, del 7 al 11 de
febrero proximo en la
Catedral de Christ the
King.
Quiere decir que Dios va
a darnos una segunda
oportunidad a nivel
comunitario y seguramente
espera que no le
defraudemos. Dios espera
una respuesta masiva. Que
aquellos que estan lejos, se
acerquen a El. Y que
aquellos que ya le conocen
y se dicen amigos,
multipliquen su esfuerzo
para que la luz de la
Mision ilumine a TODOS
LOS HOGARES de nuestra
comunidad cristiano-catolica
de Atlanta. Dios espera de
todos nosotros un nuevo
testimonio de fervor
comunitario mayor que el
del ano pasado. Y Dios
espera que su Palabra de
fruto! Es verdad que este
depende en ultimo termino
de El, pero en nosotros
esta la obligacion y la
responsabilidad de
prepararle los caminos. La
Mision empieza en Dios,
pero termina en nosotros.
No es solo obra del
misionero y del equipo de
cristianos que tan
generos amente esta
preparando los mil detalles
que implica una Mision.
ESTA ES OBRA DE
TODOS, ya que sobre
todos pesa el mandato de
evangelizar y de compartir
la maravilla de una fe
slavifica que se nos ha
dado para ser proclamada y
compartida, y no para ser
escondida egoistamente
debajo del celmin. Ante el
hecho extraordinario de
una Mision nadie puede
darse por excusado ni
seguir de espaldas,
refugiado en la seguridad
egoista de una fe
individual, al imperativo de
evangelizar que abrasaba de
impaciencia el alma de San
Pablo.
Hay muchos modos de
participar en la Mision, ya
sea perteneciendo
personalmente a cualquiera
de los comites organizados
para preparar la Mision, o
mediante una preocupacion
personal, traducida en
oracion, en propaganda, en
arrastre evangelico, para
que no quede un solo
hermano sin participar en
este beneficio espiritual de
la Mision. Oficialmente, la
organizacion y los trabajos
de la permision se estan
llevando a cabo, por
sac er dotes, religiosas y
seglares, en la Escuela de
San Pio X, todos los
jueves, a partir de las 7:30
p.m.
Todos estan invitados a
participar en estas
reuniones. Pero no
olvi demos que nuestra
posibilidad de accion no
termina aqui ni se limita a
esta prestacion diractamente
personal, si por diversas
razones no podemos
cooperar de este modo
director. Cada amigo, cada
vecino, cada hermano con
quien compartimos el pan,
el trago o la amistad,
espera nuestro mensaje
cristiano y nuestra
invitacion, y puede ser un
objetivo para nuestra
accion. Solo asi la Mision
sera obra de todos y dara
el fruto que Dios espera.
Primero, Dios. Pero para
que El actue, no lo
olvidemos, hace falta la
palanca del amor a traves
del compromiso personal y
del testimonio comunitario.
