HARVEY</U> (PG13) <FONT size=3>This one was tailor-made for the Avon
audiences! With Clint Eastwood showing all of us that the "old timers" still
have a lot of juice left in them, now we have DUSTIN HOFFMAN and EMMA THOMPSON,
both Oscar winners, in a story of how it is never, never too late to find love.
Here is very respected film critic LEONARD MALTIN to tell you all about
it:</FONT></FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>LAST CHANCE HARVEY — <EM>Last
Chance Harvey</EM> is a thoroughly enjoyable vehicle for its leading actors,
Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. What a pleasure to watch these two stars at
work in such compatible roles. Hoffman plays a Los Angeles-based composer of
commercial jingles whose career is in jeopardy. He flies to London to attend his
daughter’s wedding and finds he’s just as superfluous there as he seems to be at
work back home. His wife has remarried and her new husband is functioning as
father of the bride; the bride herself seems to regard her hard-luck dad as
something of an interloper. Meanwhile, he chances to meet a cheery airport
worker, played by Thompson, whose private life is smothered by her elderly mum.
How these two strangers with seemingly nothing in common come to spend time
together is the crux of the movie. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>With equal doses of charm and intelligence,
<EM>Last Chance Harvey</EM> sets up a situation that’s not so far-fetched we
can’t go along for the ride. Writer-director Joel Hopkins maintains a light
touch and shoots London with an eye toward appealing, even romantic, locations
we don’t often see on film. Hoffman has said that he and his costar made
substantial contributions to the script, reflecting their own sensibilities. If
so, bully for them. <EM>Last Chance Harvey</EM> tells a love story about two
mature people without becoming overly coy or cute. It’s a winning formula called
entertainment. <EM> (By Leonard Maltin used with

out there that succeeds on so many levels? The previews made it look like a riff
on Clint's Dirty Harry persona, and, while that much is true, there is so much
more going on here! As I tell my Richland film class students, with any fine
film, it is a rewarding thing to start peeling away the layers of the onion to
expose the underlying dynamics driving the story. This is an unforgettable
movie, and one of the best of the year! DO NOT MISS IT!! In fact, many are
coming more than once because there are so many wonderful
scenes!</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
