and
By JUDD A. BLOUCH
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
His tossled shock of dark hair and
searching eyes make women sigh. His
ability to convey emotion and develop a
character cause movie makers'to con
stantly pursue his talents. His portrayal
of the disturbed, sensitive Conrad in
“Ordinary People” made him' a runaway
for Best Supporting Actor at last year’s
Academy Awards.
Has Timothy Hutton, 21, got the world
on a string? You bet, and his latest
starring role in “Taps” just helps to
strengthen his grip.
Hutton plays Cadet Major Brian More
land, the top ranking student, at the
Bunker Hill Military Academy. He is the
leader of a group of students who take
over the school when they learn it is to be
closed soon.
Hutton’s entrance into show business
was no overnight development. His fa-
ther was actor Jim Hutton, probably best
known for his role as Ellery Queen on the
TV whodunit of the same name. So, the
younger Hutton was always exposed to
acting.
“I can’t really remember a point at
which I said ‘Okay, this is what I’m going
to do, this is my career’ because'it never
seemed like a career to me, it never
seemed like a job,” he said. “I guess my
father was the same way, he had a lot of
fun doing it.”
One problem that Hutton had with the
role of Brian Moreland was that he had
little in common with the fictional young
soldier. He had been raised for most of
his life in the liberal surroundings of
Berkeley, California and had never even
considered going to a military academy.
“I went to the military academy with a
very open view. I couldn’t bring any of
myself into the character,” Hutton said.
i ' *** '*

Moreland’s idol in the movie is the
commander of the academy, General
Harlan Bache played by George C. Scott.
Their relationship is extemely formal,
conforming to the military code. Hutton
had a hard time identifying with this sort
of respect.
“I wouldn’t want it to be ‘Sir, Major
Moreland requesting permission to come *
in.’ I’d want to be able to open the door
and say ‘Let’s talk.’ ”
When asked if the roles of Moreland
and of Conrad in “Ordinary People”
were different, Hutton first said their
only difference was the movies they were
in. However, he soon began to point out a
few other distinctions.
“ ‘Ordinary People’ was a very inti
mate experience whereas ‘Taps’ was a
bigger kind of production,” Hutton ex
plained. “Conrad was always sort of
closed off and Brian was much more out
front.” .
With Conrad and Moreland, Hutton has
played two very serious roles. He said he
would like to do lighter stuff, but nothing
has really come his way yet. And Hutton
may be a bit partial to the heavier parts.
“It’s much more interesting to me to
play a character like Conrad or Brian
than a kid who goes home to cookies arid
milk and has a great home and has a
paper route and tries to get rid of the
zits,” he said.
Perhaps it isn’t fair to ask a young
actor to branch out, especially when he’s
achieved the level of success that Hutton
has. His Oscar is a testimony to the talent
already developed and a clue to the
talent yet to be tapped. And what value
does Hutton place on that little gold
man?
“It fills up that spot on my mantle,
that’s for sure,” Hutton said with a
laugh.
Timothy Hutton, George C. Scott and Tim Wahrer
Cast can't play reveille for 'Taps'
Obvious messages take punch out of dramatic movie's impact
By JUDD A. BLOUCH
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The line-up reads like a “who’s who” of recent movie
making. Starring are George C. Scott, one of the great
men of steel of modern cinema, and Timothy Hutton,
winner of last year’s Academy Award for Best Support
ing Actor for his role as Conrad in “Ordinary People.”
Stanley Jaffe, who was responsible for “The Bad
News Bears” and “Kramer vs. Kramer,” co-produces
the film with his brother Howard, who is no slouch
either. And Harold Becker, the man behind the very
underrated “The Onion Field” and “The Black Mar
ble,” directs the picture.
Therefore, one might believe that “Taps,” a
Christmas offering from 20th Century Fox, might just
be a first class, Oscar-deserving movie. Sorry folks;
that premise, proven wrong so many times before, just
doesn’t hold true for this film either.
“Taps” is a good movie and will undoubtably grab its
share of the bloated holiday movie audience. The acting
is good, the directing is good and the overall effort is
good.
V,V.
But good does not a classic make. Think of what you’d
say after a “good” movie: “not bad” or “hmmm, that
movie said such-and-such to me.” Now, think of what
you said after “Kramer vs. Kramer” or “Ordinary
People.” Maybe something like “wow” or “whew” or
“damn.” Your mind is numbed by the impact and it
isn’t until you’re eating the post-flick Big Mac or
drinking a beer an hour later that the messages start
crystalizing in your mind.
Actor graduates into movies
By JUDD A. BLOUCH
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
In the spring of 1980 Tom Cruise was a
17-year-old high school student who ex
celled in wrestling and pole vaulting for
Glen Ridge High School. An injury, how
ever, put him out of sports and onto the
high school stage as Nathan Detroit in
“Guys and Dolls.” That injury is proba
bly the best thing that ever happened to
Cruise.
An agent attended one of the Cruise’s
performances and encouraged him to
take up acting seriously. A year and a
half later, Cruise has a supporting, but
major role in “Taps.”
“I love my work,” Cruise said. “I am
growing and learning more about life in
the past year than I have in any other
year.”
Cruise’s role in “Taps” is his second
major motion picture appearance. His
first role was in “Endless Love” as
Martin Hewitt’s best friend. In “Taps”
Cruise plays David Shawn, a gung ho
cadet at the Bunker Hill Military Acade
my. He is not the typical damn-the-torpe
dos Marine type. Shawn’s drive comes
from an almost psychotic desire to con
quer by force and the hell with everybody
else. Cruise prepared for the role in a
typical all-out manner.
The philosophical side of film-making
By JUDD A. BLOUCH
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Artists often have a way of making
their work sound lofty, thoroughly medi
tated and important enough to be the
topic of a doctoral dissertation. Whether
it is or isn’t is usually determined by the
artist’s power of persuasion and the
actual merit of the work.
Movie makers are no exception. Direc
tor Harold Becker and producers Stanley
R. and Howard Jaffe are responsible for
the new 20th Century Fox release “Taps”
and they enjoy talking about its sociologi
cal ramifications.
“I certainly see it as a social
statement,” Becker said, describing the
Not sp with “Taps.” There it is. Two messages:
children who are raised to obey completely often take
their superiors’ words as the gospel and follow unques
tionably; and honor is not all that it’s cracked up to be.
■ Messages should be understandable in motion pic
tures, but they come across best when presented in a
stunning manner that floors the viewer with the impact.
“Taps” takes place at the Bunker Hill Militai-y
Academy, which is actually the Valley Forge academy.
General Bache (Scott), the commander of the academy,
announces at commencement that the school will be
closed in a year and replaced by condominiums. Later
that night, during the senior prom, as cadets of the
academy scuffle with some local hooligans, Bache
accidentally shoots one of the local boys. On the way to
the police station, Bache suffers a heart attack and is
taken to the hospital. As Bache is driven from the
academy in a police cruiser, viewers catch their last
glimpse of Scott —only about a half hour into the film. It
is a disappointing reminder of Marlon Brando’s role in
“Apocolypse Now.”
It is announced later the same evening that plans are
to close the academy almost immediately. Cadet major
Brian Moreland (Hutton), the top-ranking student,
suggests that the cadets who haven’t yet left for sum
mer vacation capture the academy and hold it until
certain demands are met. The boys get hold of the
rather impressive supply of automatic rifles, grenades
and machine guns and hold down the fort. Local police
and state troopers arrive, parents show up and even
tually the National Guard is called out.
“From day one I took it as a challenge.
I pushed myself physically and mental
ly,” the short but solid actor said. “I took
everything with a gung ho attitude.”
The movie ends with an explosive last
scene, of which Cruise is an integral part.
All of his hostility and anger comes
pouring out like lava from a volcano.
“I saved it all up for the last scene.
Two hours before the scene I tried to rest
and started daydreaming violent
dreams,” Cruise said.
Cruise is now 19, an age when most
people are finding regular jobs or, even
worse, going to college. Higher educa
tion, however, is not in Cruise’s immedi
ate plans.
“I don’t feel I need any college,” he
said, apologizing to the three college
students present. “At one point I would
like to go back and take some courses for
fun.” .
Cruise also doesn’t see any formal
dramatic training. He said he believes in
on the job training and has already
focused on how to prepare a character.
Cruise finished his third film, a light
comedy called “Tiajuana,” two weeks
ago and is looking for more scripts.
But for right now he plans to just “be a
zombie for awhile” and enjoy his first
major role.
picture as a comment on the phenome
non of cults and how people give them
selves over to a closed system of thought.
“I believe that is the point of the film,
that there are no immutable laws,” the
director stated. “When one starts talking
about honor, one has to question it in the
scale of things like anything else.
“That may sound like heavy going for
a movie, but we couch it in a metaphor
which has enormous appeal a military
academy with all its pomp and circum
stance.”
Becker’s dedication to making a mean
ingful film as opposed to one designed
purely to entertain is evident.
“We didn’t weigh commercial possibil
ities and what would have made it a more
palatable or more fun movie for people,”
he said. “It (the movie) is interesting
and I’ve always thought that entertain
ment should be interesting.”
Stanley Jaffe’s view of the movie’s
purpose is somewhat different, but no
less noble. He has a great interest in
children, evident in two previous works
“Kramer vs. Kramer” and “Bad News
Bears,” and said his concern with what
children are learning got him involved in
this project.
“We’ve delegated the responsibility of
what they’re taught and how they’re
taught to a lot of people we never bother
to check up on.
'lt's not a film of
protest; it's a film
about how our
children are being
taught.'
—Stanley R. Jaffe
“It’s about things like that, it’s not a
film of protest; it’s a film about how our
children are being taught.”
Howard Jaffe, who candidly admits he
isn’t nearly as successful as his Academy
Award-winning brother, takes a less
philosophical view of the movie.
“I like a movie that has strength in it,
where people come to a point of no
return. When the boys pick up those
weapons, there’s no turning back,” Jaffe
said. He mentioned that some of the boys
died because of this, but it was tacked
onto the end like an afterthought or extra
baggage.
Recent cinema has been a hodgepodge
of lighthearted comedy, mind-bending
drama and a mixture of the two. This
year’s calvacade of Christmas movies,
intended to satiate the appetite of holiday
entertainment seekers, is dominated by
serious, politically relevant movies such
as “Reds,” “Ragtime,” “Absence of
Malice” and “Taps.” Is this a permanent
thing or just part of a cycle?
“We’ve reached a point where I don’t
think audiences are going to accept the
same kind of bromides,” Beckersaid. “If
The Daily Collegian
Despite this militaristic pretense, “Taps” never de
velops into an action movie. A couple young boys are
shot and one of the renegade cadets is severely burned,
but these instances only further the plot and serve as
punctuating turning points. Violence does not dominate
the story.
“Taps” is more of a waiting'match. Cadet Moreland
and his troops wait for their demands to be met and the
police, parents and National Guard, led by Ronny Cox
as Colonel Kerby, wait for the boys to give up their
hopeless cause.
And it is this waiting, watching and wondering that
really takes the zip out of “Taps.” While the viewer sits
through the continuing drama, he has the time to figure
out the ending. There is only one possible conclusion and
it doesn’t take long to figure it out.
Yet “Taps” isn’t a total failure and is, in fact, a well
made, respectable movie. Hutton follows his Oscar
winning role with a portrayal of Moreland almost equal
in intensity as his portrayal of Conrad. He is supported
by Sean Penn as Alex Dwyer, Moreland’s roommate
and conscience, and Tom Cruise as the gung-ho, mili
tary-crazed David Shawn. Brendan Ward’s portrayal of
first-year cadet Charlie Auden may make him one of the
most sought after young actors today.
“Taps” is a message movie. However, it doesn’t
disguise its purpose which would force the movie
goer to search out his own interpretation. It puts the
moral right up there on the silver screen. No “wow,” no
“damn,” not even a “gee;” just a plain, old “Oh, now I
see.”
Tom Cruise
you’re going to give as a premise a movie
such ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ certainly
people are going to accept that.”
Stanley Jaffe, however, believes the
current trend is only a surge and, the
table will turn away from serious cinema
soon.
“It just happened that they’re (‘Reds,’
‘Ragtime,’ etc.) coming out at the same
time. There’ll be a lot of mindless pic
tures between now and the summer
time.”
That fact doesn’t exactly please Jaffe,
known in cinematic circles to be some
what of a perfectionist.
“If I see one more brainless comedy
that is just a situation comedy blown up
on the screen, I’m going to throw up. We
are making some bad movies,” Jaffe
stated rather emphatically. “Whether
you like this movie or don’t like this
movie, it’s a serious attempt to to make a
movie. If you make a bad movie, but it’s
lighthearted it doesn’t make it enjoya
ble.”
The three men worked closely together
on “Taps” and even lived together for a
while. Producers and directors often
have a tight working relationship, but the
situation is a little different, when the
producers are brothers. J
“Taps” is the second film on which the
two Jaffes, sons of former president and
chairman of the board of Columbia Pic
tures Leo Jaffe, have collaborated. Their
first movie, together was “Man on a
Swing,” a suspense flick starring Cliff
Robertson and Joel Grey.
“My brother and I, we’re like north
and south pole,” Howard, the elder of the
two, said. “In our own strange way we
have our own respect and admiration for
each other. We argue but they're never
personal.”

Contemporary Dance makes classical moves
By VLADA RAICEVIC
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The word ‘contemporary’ is defined as
something which is ‘marked by charac
teristics of the present period’. It'comes
as quite a surprise, then, when The
Contemporary Dance Company presents
a concert in which three out of five pieces
are chiefly classical in nature.
In the first piece, J. S. Bach’s music
and Patricia Heigel-Tanner’s choreogra
phy provided a lively opening to the
show. The costuming was bright and
colorful, and the dancers produced vary
ing matrices of movement on stage.
The second and third pieces were well
choreographed by Paula Donahue,
though her first, “May I Have This
Dance?” tended to stagger in a couple
places.
Donahue’s second piece glittered in its
creativity, originality and suitability of
dance to music. It was fun to watch
because of its playful content and twist
ing mercurial of human forms and was
the best piece of the show.
Heigel-Tanner choreographed the next
two, the first of which can only be de
scribed as a very, very pretty piece. The
costumes were enchanting and the danc
ing flowed pleasantly to Vivaldi’s music.
The last piece titled “Dinosaur’s
Dance,” a “Peter Pan”/ “Alice in Won
derland” take off with great costuming
by T. Stadelmeier, provoded a light end
ing to the concert.
Overall the performance was very
clean and polished, and the show had its
