Or at least the govern ment decided not to. The truth is that more than 3,000 American men and women openly defied the government and traveled, at their own expense, to Spain to help the patriots fight fascism. “The Good Fight” is their story. Like “Seeing Red,” “The Good Fight” is a mix of documentary footage and per sonal interviews, delving not into historical facts, but into the hearts and minds of people who risked their lives to fight for their ideals. Director Noel Bruckner, Mary Done and Sam Stills make no pretense at being ob jective. What they search for, -r--1 , GET Off TO fl GREAT START An event you won’t want to miss.

CULTURAL THURSI r,HAY I5TH • MAY I6TH and get, are personal stories — reasons why so many Americans would risk their lives in another country. Revealing interviews with fascinating personalities bring these stories to life. These are the geriatric hell-raisers, the radicals of generations ago with as much fire and deter mination as ever. “The Good Fight” helps put us back in touch with these vital people and reminds today's genera tions that idealism isn’t unique to them. “The Good Fight” shows to day at 8 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom. The showing will by followed by guest speaker Bill Bailey who was one of the in terviewees of both this film and "Seeing Red.” Bailey, a member of the legendary Lin coln Brigade, will relate some his experiences. Stick The sad fact is that Burt Reynolds just isn’t a good director. "Sharkey’s Machine” happened to be fairly enter taining despite Reynold’s presence behind the camera, but there is no such luck for “Stick,” his latest’ outing as director-star. The cast of characters is fabulous. Charles Durning is the pill-popping-, red-headed drug boss Chuckie, who masterminds the murder as a favor to his even more power ful contact Nestor (Castula Guerra), a Brazilian importer with a penchant for voodoo. George Segal is the millionaire Barry Braun, a loud, stupid but essentially nice guy who gives Stick a job as chauffeur. Adapted from the popular novel by Elmore Leonard, "Stick” starts off promising, Ernest Stickly (Reynolds) is an ex-con just released from prison and on his way to Miami, his home town. Meeting old friend Rainy (Jose Perez), he accompanies him for a shady delivery and winds up in the center of a deadly set-, up. Unfortunately, they remain merely good ideas poorly used by Reynolds, who never ex- • plores his characters beyond the surface. The action se quences, where psychotic albino assassin Moke (Dar Robertson) tracks the elusive Stick, are dull and lifeless, and the build to the climax is anything but tense: The novel has quite a reputa tion for being gritty, tense and wonderfully playful with the conventions of the crime novel. The film is.conventional and dUill. playing the oddball characters and numerous ac tion sequences flat. Only the most die-hard Reynolds fan need see this. I'm going to read the book.
