July 16th
Love Field**
US 1991. Orion. 104m.
A Texas housewife obsesses with traveling to Washington to attend the President Kennedy's funeral, with the aid of a black single father who is forced to go on the run.
Compulsive thriller drama with excellent period detail, a skillful encompassing of the various emotions and prejudices of the time. Shamefully overlooked in Britain with a straight-to-video release, perhaps because the subject of interracial romance is still a touchy one.
Written by: Don Roos.
Producers: Midge Sanford, Sarah Pillsbury.
Director: Jonathan Kaplan.
Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Haysbert, Stephanie McFadden, Brian Kerwin, Louise Latham.
Photography: Ralf Bode.
Music: Bill Payne, Jerry Goldsmith.
Preceded by:
Cosmic Zoom***
(Canada 1968. 8m.; A journey into inner and outer space, from the furthest reaches of the known galaxy down to the atom.; p: Robert Verrall, Joseph Koenig; drawings: Eva Szasz; m: Pierre F. Brault.)
