church, I thought - not inherently<br />
wrong, but <strong>smell</strong>ing<br />
faintly of disrespect.<br />
And it was hot, boy was it<br />
hot. It was 106 degrees.<br />
Well, if you fact<strong>or</strong> in the<br />
heat index_ (Now just what<br />
is a heat index? I know it's<br />
like the wind-ehill fact<strong>or</strong>, but<br />
with temperature and humidity,<br />
but f<strong>or</strong> Pete's sake, if<br />
it's hot and humid, it's hot<br />
and humid and knowing the<br />
heat index doesn't make you<br />
feel any cooler.)<br />
Anyhow, that's why I w<strong>or</strong>e<br />
sh<strong>or</strong>ts and a nice T-shirt <strong>to</strong><br />
the Fox Theatre. And<br />
frankly, compared <strong>to</strong> some<br />
impressive as any critter in<br />
"Star Wars" - slain grandly<br />
by Geoffrey Whynot as the Jabberwocky<br />
son. And there is a<br />
spectacular <strong>to</strong>urnament bepeople<br />
there, I was overdressed.<br />
We were greeted by a <strong>to</strong>phatted<br />
do<strong>or</strong>man who opened<br />
the do<strong>or</strong> <strong>to</strong> the lobby where<br />
ushers dressed in Arab garb<br />
- well, actually, they were<br />
wrapped in sheets, but I<br />
don't think their black socks<br />
and shiny oxf<strong>or</strong>d shoes are<br />
trac:htional - <strong>to</strong>ok our tickets<br />
and <strong>to</strong>ld us <strong>to</strong> enjoy the<br />
show.<br />
Those who hadn't been <strong>to</strong><br />
the Fox since its renovation<br />
were awed by the grandeur<br />
(some would say garishness)<br />
of the lobby and by the theater<br />
itself which seats 5,000<br />
people. Bef<strong>or</strong>e the movie, an<br />
<strong>or</strong>ganist played movie<br />
themes on the theater's<br />
majestic pipe <strong>or</strong>gan. Then,<br />
the movie began.<br />
It was fitting that bef<strong>or</strong>e<br />
loading in<strong>to</strong> the car <strong>to</strong> see<br />
"Lawrence of Arabia" - set<br />
on some of the Earth's hottest,<br />
most arid acreage - we<br />
sweated buckets as we<br />
mopped out flooded cellars.<br />
While T.E. Lawrence learned<br />
<strong>to</strong> live with little water, we<br />
hoped the street flooding we<br />
saw on the way down<strong>to</strong>wn<br />
would be gone when we<br />
came out.<br />
As it is, the entire w<strong>or</strong>ld<br />
could have gone by bef<strong>or</strong>e<br />
we came out. The movie is<br />
long. It started just after the<br />
7 p.m. curtain time, and -<br />
with an overly long internussion<br />
- concluded sh<strong>or</strong>tly af.<br />
tel' 11. The length draws attention<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Fox's main<br />
fault. Its seats are uncomf<strong>or</strong>table<br />
and <strong>to</strong>o close <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />
Every part of your<br />
body is sure <strong>to</strong>, at one time<br />
<strong>or</strong> another, fall asleep.<br />
I saw several people I<br />
know at the theater and<br />
they asked - because they<br />
know I do - if I were reviewing<br />
the mOVie.<br />
Now really; what does one<br />
say about David Lean's masterpiece<br />
that hasn't already<br />
been said? The movie was<br />
already a legend by the time<br />
I was b<strong>or</strong>n. And it is a welldeserved<br />
accolade. The film<br />
is a who's who of Hollywood's<br />
male act<strong>or</strong>s - Peter<br />
O'Toole, Alec Guiness, Omar<br />
Sharif, Anthony Quinn,<br />
tra<strong>or</strong>dinary man who<br />
changed the w<strong>or</strong>ld.<br />
Although It loses its focus<br />
in the second half, and wanders,<br />
the film is remarkable<br />
even Just <strong>to</strong> look at. If you<br />
have a little trouble following<br />
Middle Eastern politiCS,<br />
you'll still be able <strong>to</strong> enJOY<br />
the mOVle.<br />
One can't help bemg awed<br />
by the images flashed across<br />
the giant screen that nms<br />
the length of the Fox stage.<br />
Even in the huge Fox, there<br />
isn't a seat that you'll have<br />
<strong>to</strong> squint from.<br />
And perhaps it was the<br />
movie, which tends <strong>to</strong> attract<br />
film aficionados, but everyone<br />
was quiet and paid attention.<br />
There were only a<br />
few people around me who<br />
had <strong>to</strong> be asked <strong>to</strong> shut up.<br />
Compared <strong>to</strong> the multiplexes<br />
where anybody can go<br />
- even those who don't<br />
know how <strong>to</strong> behave in a<br />
movie theater - <strong>to</strong> see a<br />
po<strong>or</strong>ly thought-out film on a<br />
screen barely bigger than a<br />
teleVision, a film at the Fox<br />
1S a treat that shouldn't be<br />
nussed<br />
Even if you're wearing<br />
sh<strong>or</strong>ts.<br />
