Mysterious 'Bedroom Window' forgoes laughs for real suspense Actor Steve Guttenberg has kept his audiences entertained in past movies, most of which are comedies, by doing some particularly bizarre and hilarious things. Included in his repertoire of the strange and funny is everything from having his fiancee pass a football test before marrying him (“Diner”) Review by Kevin bong to making love to a beautiful ex traterrestrial in "Cocoon.” But in his latest movie, we find Steve Guttenberg looking through more serious eyes. Known more popularly by moviegoers as the anti authoritarian prankster Carey Mahoney in the movie "Police Academy," Guttenberg now trades a spoonful of humor for a spoonful of seriousness in the newly released romantic thriller. "The Bedroom Win dow.” This sidestep from com edy to more serious acting suits him well, too. In “The Bedroom Window,” Guttenberg stars as Terry I,ambert, a flashy young ar chitect employed at a prestigious contracting com pany. where he is having an af fair with the boss’s wife. Sylvia, played by Isabelle Huppert (“Sincerely Charlotte ”). The mystery begins one night while the lovers are together at Terry’s place and momentarily, w'hile all is quiet on the western front, a piercing scream is heard outside the second-story win dow. Sylvia reaches the win dow first and calls to Terry, who is making his way to the bathroom, while she alone witnesses an assault being made on a woman below (Elizabeth McGovern). But before Terry can finally reach the window, the suspect has disappeared from view, leaving Sylvia as chief witness to the crime.

Dr. P. finds his visual and perceptual abilities so impaired that he mistakes his wife’s head for a hat... Jimmie G., suffering from acute amnesia, loses three decades of his life . . . Blessed with deep reserves of compassion and metaphysical turn of mind, Dr. Sacks writes of these pa tients not as scientific curiosities but as in dividuals, whose dilemmas — moral and spiritual, as well as psychological — are made as complexly real to us as those of characters In a novel.” — Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Now available in the General Book Dept.
