Review of Magic (1978) by Scott M — 01 Jul 2013
MAGIC (1978): Anthony Hopkins' finest performance, bar none! Hopkins' crazed ventriloquist is nuttier than Dr. Lecter and, most importantly, not a cartoonish caricature of a psychotic; we feel for Corky even as we fear for the high school sweetheart (the lovely Ann-Margret) he re-connects with after running away from a promising career in showbiz.
Masterful score by Jerry Goldsmith balances the romantic and suspenseful elements in equal measure. The tv spots for this scared children so much that the ads were pulled after angry parents complained to affiliates!
