ICEMAN

ICEMAN
   Film (1984). Universal. Prod Norman Jewison. Dir Fred Schepisi, starring Timothy Hutton, John Lone, Lindsay Crouse. Screenplay Chip Proser, John Drimmer, from a story by Drimmer. 99 mins. Colour.
   Set in the Arctic (shot in Canada), I tells of a Neanderthal dug out of the ice, thawed, resuscitated and studied. Eschewing the caveman cliches (APES AND CAVEMEN) of films like TROG (1970), it adopts a sensitive and supposedlyrealistic manner, much being made of Neanderthal LINGUISTICS. But the story is so thin as to be almost invisible, and the film sags tediously as eco-cliches of the period lead to predictable clashes between the anthropologist, on the side of life, and the female scientist, on the side of cold-blooded research. The scientific methods on display are laughably inept and unlikely.
