“Who’s Killing the Great
Chef,”
a
delectable
comedy/murder mystery, is
both mentally as well as visually
appealing to the movie
epicurist.
One should npt come to the
movie on an empty stomch,
than again one should. The
preparationand grandeur of the
gourmet meals in the movie is
enough to send one to the con
cession stands repeatedly, The
exotic meals are spectacular
and visually aromatic.' I found
my stomach grumbling for
something a little more sub-
stantial than buttered popcorn
and a flat Coke. But then again
I’m glad I came to the theater
on an empty stomach in that
several of the murders were
quite gruesome in content.
Don’t let this lead you away
from seeing the picture, the
degree of severity each murder
involves is left to each in
dividuals imagination. If your
imagination is anything similar
to mine the murders are very
brutal. This idea was very
cleverly thought out on the part
of the writers. Let the audierice
do the work for you.
The plot is quite a simple one
in that each murder follows a
specific course of a gourmet
dinner. Who’s dinner was not
made clear but each course of
th dinner involved ait least one
chef from a European country.
With this as a guide, Bisset
comes into the picture since
she is the desert portion of the
dinner.

mulate, George Segal comes
into the action as a chicken
shack entrepreneur trying to
win back the love of his ex-
wife, Bisset. Learning that she
is the last person to be mur
dered, Bisset and Segal trek all
through Europe anticipating
the next murder. Segal is bur
ning a candle at both ends
however in that he is trying to
regain forgiveness from his ex
and trying to prevent the next
murder before it becomes too
late.
The action is spontaneous in
the movie in that the viewer is
not given enough time to figure
out when or where the next
murder is to take place? Even
without the lavish food
episodes and star-studded cast
the movie would have been
quite good.
The movie is a combination
of laughter, suspense, hunger
and completeness. Despite the
brutal murder scenes, the
movie is quite clean in its other
areas which makes the movie
an enjoyable experience for
any age and intellect.

The Who’s first album in three years titled “Who Are
ou” has finally been released. The power and excitement
inerated on this album almost makes it worth the long
nit.
“Who Are You” may be the last Who album, since the
ragic death of drummer Keith Moon leaves the future plans
lithe group uncertain.
“Who Are You” contains a little bit of everything—humor,
illads, rock and roll and some stunning guitar playing by,
«genius behind the Who, lead guitarist, Pete Townshed.

“Sister Disco” is a humorous and cynical song against the
Ppularity of disco music. “Who Are You,” the title track, is

pion of John Entwistle on bass guitar and Keith Moon on
rams.
The Who have been together since the early 1960s and
