    Movie drought

    Filmed in Tel Aviv, alleged comedy concerns wealthy ranch owner Sally Kellerman locking up access to the water well on her land until the villagers confess who murdered her husband; Tony Curtis and Louis Gossett Jr. are American mercenaries who try talking her out of it before the government gets involved (Curtis also likes Kellerman's 19-year-old daughter while Gossett gets a yen for the lady boss). Canadian-French-Israeli co-production has good performances by the three principals, also from John Vernon as Sally's would-be suitor, but the witless screenplay doesn't allow any of them to show off and have fun. Kellerman has a long, breathy speech at dinner that serves no purpose, while Curtis' courting of young Lisa Langlois hits a dead end. * from ****
