MARK ROBSON makes movies the way other men build walls out of cement blocks—methodically and with heavy materials. The director, who made one good film 20 years ago ("Champion"), has in recent years devoted himself to what the trade calls "commercial pictures," some commercially more successful ("Valley of the Dolls") than others ("Lost Command").
"Daddy's Gone A-Hunting," his new suspense melodrama, casts Carol White ("Poor Cow") as a young wife and mother whose baby is kidnapped by her former lover (Scott Hylands), a deranged man who carries it around San Francisco in a wooden container, the sort ordinarily used to transport a cat on public conveyances.
There are several police stakeouts that don't quite succeed, some business with poisoned milk that's almost fed to the baby, a flight via cable car terminated when the other passengers become curious about the contents of the cat box, and a long, silly, quite enjoyable climax in which the principals play king-of-the-hill on top of the steeply slanted roof of the Mark Hopkins Hotel.
Robson, however, sets up these things so laboriously, and with so little grace and wit, that pleasure demands a total suspension of cinematic taste. The screenplay by Larry Cohen and Lorenzo Semple Jr. doesn't help much with the kind of dialogue that, between the lines, aches to tell us how foolish the writers know it to be. "I may seem crazy," says Hylands when he first meets Miss White early in the film, "and probably am." "I don't think you're completely well," she tells him after he has just beaten her up.
My favorite, however, is the way in which the writers acknowledge a plot device—an unwanted pregnancy—that seems rather arbitrary in 1969. "How, in this day and age," asks Miss White's friend, "did you manage that?" There is no answer.
In addition to Hylands and Miss White, who is blond and more than ever reminiscent of Julie Christie when seen in "Petulia's" San Francisco locations, the cast includes Paul Burke and Mala Powers.
Also on the program at the New Embassy, where I saw the film yesterday afternoon, are a Warner Brothers-Seven Arts short, "From Sea to Ski," which is actually a terrible commercial for Campbell's Soup and a trailer for a new exposé film called "Sweden Heaven and Hell."
At one point its narrator, who tells us that we owe it to our "senses" to see the film, reports with just a hint of a sneer: "In America, you don't see meter maids who wear uniforms by day—and nothing at night." The trailer, however, is rated "X," while "Daddy's Gone A-Hunting" is rated "M," meaning that, theoretically anyway, the kids should be taken outside when the trailer is shown. The easiest thing is not to go at all.[/quote]
