1 i 24 Taesday, September 11, 1973 Philau Patty News Wooden Curtis in Tepid Sex Farce Vietnam Vet Seeks Statehood For 'Forgotten' UlinoisRcyion FANDON, 11L Neil Gamm, a Vietnam veteran who says western Illinois has been ne glected long enough, today announced he is seeking recognition for a proposed Slst state called Forgotonia. Gamm, self-apoLnted governor of "The Land of Little Retom on Tax Dollars," said be and a group of local citizens sent petitions to 16 western Illinois counties and to the state and Federal governments asking permission to form the new state. If they approve, be said, "We could become the Slst state." I'M TONY CURTIS humorless especially William Devane's flipnant cliset queen unveiled. Fine cameos are offered by Barney Martin as an archetype Irish police Sergeant, Marty Davis silent waiter, and btuun Carolyn Mignini as a customs inspector (dialogue obvwraly inspired by Lilly Tomlin). iff 1 e33 GAMM, A SENIOR at Western Illinois University, has already named this McDonough County town of 63 as the provisional capital, lie works from an office in an abandoned general store.

The plot development proves less than inspired, as both of these zanies move in on Phil for a sexual conquest, an effort which he treats mainly as interference with his work (what a bore?) and in the case of Tim, as a threat to his masculinity (what a psychological Our interest peters out king before all three tumble into the trundle together.

Quite easily, unfortunately. The only true joke here on the spectator who expects to get more than three or four good laughs out of this ai inks shallow mess.

Central character Phil Coming (Curtis), for instance, the zealous producer of football halftone shows, just about as stiff and humorless as the marching dolls he lays out in formation on his Astroturf carpet. Curtis doesn't help matters much with an uniovolved, chilly performance mat warms only in second act confrontations with his dad, the garment manufacturer (Harold Gary).
