In his role as Philo Beddoe, a Los Angeles truck driver and bare knuckle fisticuffs champion of the West Coast, Eastwood does, in fact, smile more than in any other of his movies combined. (He leered in the end of "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" and smirked three times during the course of "The Outlaw Josey Wales.") But Eastwood's performance is only one element giving "Loose" the depth that makes it good entertainment. Though clearly to be classed as a comedy, the story in "Loose" is wrapped mainly around a poignant love theme, and there is enough good natured brawling to preserve Eastwood's image as the toughest guy around. The laughs provided by Philo's pet orangutang an obvious comic relief, but one that works beautifully and Philo's friend Orville (Geoffry Lewis) and Orville's feisty mother (Ruth Gordon), are the real bright spots of the movie, occasionally saving tedious scenes. The picture begins in L.A., where Philo falls in love with budding country western singer Lynn Halsey Taylor and follows her east after she abruptly leaves town. Taylor is played by Sondra Locke, an apparent regular in Eastwood movies since her appearance as the wiffy sod buster in "Josey Wales." While in L.A., Philo has managed to offend a middle-aged motorcycle gang Contact Lenses - fl Hard Lenses $105.00* t Soft Lenses $185.00* „ • single vision lenses includes complete vision examination w w ; Dr. Marshall L.

N9C6 be confused with traditional glint Eastwood villains; these good old boys are harmless stereotypes, complete With their own musical themes, that sound gaudy whenever they appear on screOn. His confrontations with these cldwn men provide a kind of tongue-in-cheek action that even at one point sharply lampoons Eastwood's spaghetti Westerns. In the last 20 minutes of this fairly fast paced movie, everybody catches up with Philo and Philo catches up with his somewhat promiscuous • sweetheart Lynn and the Rocky Mountain bare knuckle pugilist Tank Murdock, who*, name has been whispered with, frightful awe throughout the movie. With all these climaxes lumped so closely together, the viewer doesn't even realize until he's out of the theatre that., Clint didn't win them all at least in the traditional Eastwood Way. Previous to this, with the possible' ex ception of "Josey Wales," all Eastwood must do to be reaffirmed as the toughest guy in the movie is live until the fing credits or shoot the bad guy(s) (whicM,' of course, he always does). Now, Eastwood is playing a much more human hero. A welcome rglief from "The Gauntlet" and "The En forcer" which took his invunerability to extremes and sorely lack'xii credibility. Though it does have so_ nit: problems with wooden acting and pointless crudity, Eastwood has, in "Loose" taken the same old gang that appeared in his movies over the years and done an about face from the grim "Dirty Harry," turning out a superigT product in a different genre.
