Definitely hairy and a beast, but this is a cheap rip-off of John Landis' 1981 thriller, An American Werewolf in London. But don't confuse the two. Good soundtrack, but dull story, bad acting and weak special effects make this a must-miss. Robert Redford directs and stars in this effective blend of humanist and naturalist filmmaking. A family enlists a 'horse whisperer' to help heal their injured daughter, her horse, and the whole family.
Beautiful cinematography overwhelms the love story.
Out on video November 10. Fiddler on the Roof Well, Topol kind of looks like a big hairy beast. Tevye, a poor milkman in pre- Revolutionary Russia, grapples with a changing world while trying to cling to his traditional values. Full of great songs, fine attention to detail and a masterful performance by Topol. Superb, old fashioned entertainment.
