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.

concerning the identity of the
suspec:t or keepi n g her
whereabouts that night a secret
from her husband. Sylvia is
understandably doubtful as to
which action she should take.
But then it is quickly decided by
Terry that he will cover for
Sylvia, becoming an impromp
tu witness, although he himself
has actually witnessed nothing.
She then preps him on the infor
mation involved until he
believes he's ready for the ques
tions of the police.
From this point forward.
Terry’s false testimony to the
police lures him further and fur

confusion, blunder, mystery
and suspense.

leaving Terry no longer only an
"impromptu witness” but an
integral player in the game of
solving crime.
“The Bedroom Window" is
•m excellent movie of its kind
That is to say. it is a classy
suspense-thriller that will
sometimes leave you in the back
of your seat guessing and for
mulating and then suddenly
catapult you forward to the edge
of your seat, gut-wrenched.

The Man Who Mistook
His Wife for a Hat
by Oliver Sacks
s7.95
“This remarkable book by the eminent
neurologist Oliver Sacks presents case
studies that are all concerned with in
dividuals who are unable in conventional
ways to connect with themselves and the
world around them. 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
