FOUR FRIENDS, 1981, MGM Repertory, 114 min. Dir. Arthur Penn. Steve Tesich's largely autobiographical tale of Yugoslavian immigrant (Craig Wasson) and his friends (Michael Huddleston and Jim Metzler) coming of age in the 1960s, every one of them in love with Georgia (Jodi Thelen). A richly observed American epic of love and friendship. One of the most overlooked and misunderstood films of the 1980s. "The best film yet made about the sixties…. It has the quality of legend, a fable remembered…. For Mr. Tesich, it is another original work by one of our best young screenwriters."- Vincent Canby The New York Times.
EYEWITNESS, 1981, 20th Century Fox, 103min. Dir. Peter Yates. Steve Tesich's mystery follows a janitor (William Hurt) who uses what he knows about a murder to get close to reporter Sigourney Weaver. Steve Tesich's script, is alive with interesting characters and crackling dialogue. One of the least known, but most successful character driven mysteries of all time. The final shoot out in the riding stable is a thing to behold. Also starring Christopher Plummer, James Woods, Steven Hill and Morgan Freeman.
