New approach to: herlock

By BOB THOMAS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Since 1903, movies have treated the world’s most famous sleuth using every possible approach, from The Private Life os Sherlock Holmes to Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother to Seven Per Cent! Solution in which he meets Sigmund Freud.

Through it all no one ever thought of examining the detective’s boyhood — ras now. :

The notion Chris C (Gremlins, The Goonies), tea his script, won the enthusiasm of Steven Spielberg, who enlisted Barry Levinson to direct Young Sherlock Holmes.

The Paramount movie has been released for the holiday trade amid unenthusiastic reviews but generally good business.

Levirison recently talked about the movie at his headquarters in Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment complex at Universal Studio.

He had just returned from lunch with the two young stars of the movie, Nicholas Rowe and Alan Cox, who were preparing to leave for another publicity whirl in A li

Time has also altered one of his stars.

Cox, now 15, has grown seyen inches since playing young Watson. Rowe had already reached his full six feet. The new film is only Levinson's third as director.

A co-writer of Mel Brooks comedies as well as And Justice for All and Best Friends,-he wrote and directed the admirable Diner, based on his youth in Baltimore, | followed by The Natural with Robert Redford. -

The Columbus script portrays the teen-age Holmes and Watson as schoolmates who become embroiled in the niystery of a series of unexplained deaths.

‘The movie contains disclaimers at the beginning and end, admitting that Arthur Conan Doyle had writted:that the famous pair met as adults and proclaiming the film as “an affectionate speculation.”

The credits acknowledge “the kind permission’ by the author's daughter, Dame Jean Conan Doyle, for use of certain characters. The disclaimers were her request, said Levinson.

“Why do movies take so long to make?" Levinson mused. “I can tell you how long “Young Sherlock Holmes’ took. I figure my son was conceived about the time I began working on the picture. He is now eight months old.”

the Holmes flame, will agree is doubtful. Levinson makes

no apologies.

“I read some of the books to get familiar with the material,” the director said. “I found they were not great

literature, though they were good,

exciting stories.

Unfortunately, they are not applicable to today’s audience.

films have d past them.

“Rather sadly, I had to eenke the film on two levels: for _

those who know about Sherlock Holmes and the younger moviegoers who may never have heard of him.”

The search for the two leads required six minths of screening through 10,000 candidates, mostly in Britain but also in the United States and Canada.

Rowe, now 19, son of a House of Commons member, was found at Eton; he possessed the lean frame, hawk-like face and brittle intelligence associated with Holmes. He had not acted before but turned out to be a natural.

Vice music a one-man show

NEW YORK (AP) — For- get about Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas with their designer clothes and street smarts. When it comes to the music of Miami Vice, it's strictly a one-man show.

Jan Hammer, a balding 37- year-old who works in the woods about 2,000 kilometres dye north of Florida, is it:

‘It's true — too good to be true — but I have complete —control of all: my music on the show,” said, Hammer, the keyboardist-drummer who recently scored a No. 1 hit single with the Miami Vice “Theme.

“I don't have to agree with anybody,” he continued in a phone interview from his re- cording studio at his home in a rural area north of New York-Ci t

ing guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck for his Wired LP and a len- gthy tour which also pro- duced a live album. Hammer has also done two albums with Journey guitarist Neal Schon and has played on al- bums-by such artists as Al DiMeola and Mick Jagger.

However, for Miami Vice, he enjoys being a one-man band.

“I've tried to do so many things with this show. Some work, some don't; the major point is this is something that comes naturally to me. It’s not labored,” Hammer said. “I don’t have to twist my own arm to get to work. I'm doing what I like and it sounds like it.”

Turmoil on labor front?

VANCOUVER (CP) — Turmoil can be expected on the labor front next year in British Columbia if emp- loyers seek concessions,.says Art Kube, president of the B.C. Federation of Labor.

In his annual New Year's message, Kube™ notes the provincial economy remains poor and several major col- lective agreements expire in 1986.

“As a result, employers will continue to attempt to wring concessions from their employees in an attempt to compensate for the poor economic performance of government policy,” Kube says.

About 250,000 workers will be negotiating new contracts in 1986.
