...attack sooner cost Britain's fighting men dearly. With no warning, Argentina's air force roared across the skies southwest of Port Stanley last week to deal the British their worst casualties of the campaign. Demolished on that disastrous Tuesday were two landing ships, the Sir Galahad and the Sir Tristram, carrying members of the Fifth Infantry Brigade who were establishing a second British beachhead only 17 miles from Port Stanley. That brought to seven the total of major British ships lost since a Royal Navy task force reached the wintry South Atlantic archipelago on April 29. Defense...
...gentle space elf who at first glance seems as homely as a turtle without its shell yet eventually proves as beautiful as an enchanted frog, must find a rescuer. And the rescuer must be a child, whose Galahad strength only E.T. and the moviegoer can immediately discern. The child is Elliott (Henry Thomas), a thin, quiet, wise-faced lad of ten who makes initial contact in a time-honored American fashion: by playing catch with a softball. With the help of his older brother Michael (Robert MacNaughton) and younger sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore), Elliott must battle the elements and some...
...Warner Bros, cartoon shorts. Beware of low gags, supersonic mayhem, polka-dot undershorts and the occasional smack in the puss-Sylvester J. Pussycat, to be precise. There is much unfettered mirth here from the rest of the Warner menagerie: from Bugs, the Cagney of lagomorphs, who plays Galahad and slickshooter to the splenetic Yosemite Sam in two of the best shorts (Knighty Knight Bugs, Wild and Woolly Hare); from the hugely talented Daffy Duck as a reluctant egg layer (Golden Yeggs); from Granny, Tweety Pie and a sternutating dragon. Freleng is no match for the great cartoon directors, Chuck Jones...
Luke, with Artoo Detoo as his friend and companion, is the unpretentious cinematic heir to a long line of such heroes: Prometheus, Jason, Aeneas, Sir Galahad, John Bunyan's pilgrim. Luke begins his adventure and soon encounters Ben Kenobi, who, as such figures often do in traditional fairy tales and myths, offers advice and the benign protection of destiny. In classical myth such a role was played by Mercury, or Hermes as the Greeks called him; in Egyptian myth the part belonged to Thoth. After Ben is transported to that place where all good Jedi Knights go in Star...
...Mobster Mickey Cohen, now 61 and dependent on a cane, gets around nonetheless. His latest conquest is Actress Edy Williams, 33, former wife of soft-core Pornographer Russ Meyer (producer of such unrememberable screen classics as Vixen). "He's my Sir Galahad. He's incredibly strong; I only hope some of his strength rubs off on me," says Edy of her hero, whom she met at Boxer Bobby Chacon's Los Angeles training camp while posing for publicity pictures. "I'm used to guys chasing me, but when we were introduced he just stood back...
