Seats GEORGE SCOTT as Gloves Malloy tion and in the screenplay by Larry Gelbart and Sheldon Keller is more subtle, less savage, more targeted and germane, less self-serving. There are half a dozen visual jokes in the "Warren Brothers" studio logo that begins each of the two separate films that make up "Movie, Movie." (Yes, it's a double feature.) There's a Columbia-like statue, some 20th-Century-Fox-llke monumental lettering and so on. Then comes "Dynamite Hands." Joey Popchick (Harry Hamlin), the poor-but-honest (and, obviously, handsome) delivery boy from the deli knocks out a champion fighter in Gloves Mal-loy's (Scott's) broken-down gym; Malloy signs him and trains him for the championship; Joey gives up dreams of law school to make the quick bucks in the "dirty business" because he needs $25,000 quick to send his sister (Kathleen Beller) to the only specialist in the world (in Vienna) who can save her sight Joey deserts his librarian true love (Trish Van Devere) when he falls under the spell of Harlow-blond nightclub singer Troubles Moran (Ann Reinking). There are gangsters (Eli Wallach), dumb sidekicks (Red Buttons) and all the other staples; there are complications, dripping sentiment and, of course, a happy ending with Joey out of lawschool in time to prosecute the gangster that done his friends wrong. THE SCRIPT is a deft and hysterical blend of sentimental cliches by count, seven in Just one of Scott's lines and hard-boiled argument.

SCOTT FEB. 9 Hilly graham QUESTION: Why do you talk all the time about peace with God? I am more concerned about peace within my own life.

ANSWER: The reason I am concerned peace with God is because I am convinced there is no true peace in our hearts until we have peace with God. "The Bible speaks about peace with God. The Bible says God created us and SVVING TIME" 7:30. 9:40 Frad Astalra, Gimpr Room rW Mnrityn libbin 3t MiqMy WuHir TWro Oroqn loves us and yet the human race is at warfare with God. Since the time of Adam and Eve, we have tried to live our lives without God.

The fault is not God's it is ours. Our greatest need is forgiveness and reconciliation, and God loves us so much that He has provided the way for this In Jesus Christ But the Bible also speaks of the peace of God the peace that only God can bring to our hearts. You see, one reason your own heart is not at peace is because you have tried to find peace everywhere but the one place it can be found from God. When we truly are trusting Jesus Christ every day, and committing our way to Him as Lord of our lives, the Bible says, "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Phillppians 4:7, NIV).
