He‘s a wiseâ€"cracking journalist who will stop at nothing for a scoop. Directed by Michael Richie and based on the heg}-{ellhg novel by George MacDonald, the role of The show is called "Triple Play," and consists of three one act plays: The Proper Perspective by Warren Graves, Claws by Lezley Havard and When Shakespeare‘s Ladies Meet by Charles George.

But Fletch smeils a lnr'geâ€'ï¬ir}'y‘ ;ï¬;ï¬i.'a-l;d';églns to unravel the truth about Stanwyk through a maze of crooked cops (the chief of police is played by Joe Don Baker) unethical businessmen, and a confusing trial that carries the whole film, with good support from Dana Wheeter as a philandered millionairess spouse, Richard Libertini as his hapless editor, Emett Waish as a questionable member of the medical profession and Tim Matheson as the guy who hires Fletch to kill him. While posing as a beach bum to break a drug trafficking story, Fletch is approached by successful aviation executive Alan Stanwyk (Matheson) who proposes to hire him as his personal assassin in return for $50,000, and a planned esc:re that looks foolproo{. Stanwyk claims to be dying of an incurable disease and wants to ensure his family full assurance payoff. Movie review "It‘s just not enough to look good," she said. "All the giris were pretty. What‘s important is to be consistent in the way you look. They were looking for a clean, fresh conservative look. A lot of girls are beautiful and talented but they have a look that‘s too dramatic." ‘‘When I heard my name I just stod there for a couple of seconds and said ‘I can‘t believe it‘ over and over." Assimacopoulos believes she managed to portray all the qualities the judges were looking for. In spite of all the experience, nothing could have prepared Asâ€" simacopoulos for the surprise she got when they announced her name as the winner over 36 other contesâ€" tants. She feels all this past experience contributed greatly to her win this year. *‘They always told me at Cameo to try again if you didn‘t win the first time,"" she said. "I wasn‘t going to be disappointed if I didn‘t win because these pageants are always good experience." A partâ€"time model with Cameo, Assimacopoulos has had a lot of experience with pageants. In 1979 she was firstâ€"runner up in the Miss Teen Kâ€"W pageant and was a finalist in the 1982 Miss Kâ€"W pageant. Earlier this year she won the 1985 Sophisticate Model of the Year Award in Toronto, where there were scouts from agencies all over North America and Europe. Assimacopoulos believes there is a much greater emphasis placed on things like poise, intellect and an open personality. ‘‘It opens up so many doors for so many girls," she said. "Why do people criticize it? People who don‘t approve don‘t understand the whole idea of it. It goes much, much deeper than somebody‘s physical appearance. The bathing suits are only a small part of it. Fifty per cent of our marks come from an interâ€" view before the pageant." The 22â€"yearâ€"old Waterloo resiâ€" dent, who recently became the new Miss Kitchenerâ€"Waterlioo, is bright, selfâ€"confident and opinionated. She makes no apologies for taking part in the kind of pageant that has received a lot of criticism in the last few years. Catherine Miehm Chronicle staff Don‘t let the pretty face fool you. Bess Assimacopoulos easily buries any unflattering stereotypes of a beauty queen. Many qualities contribute to pageant success The more dangerous the situation, the more likely Fletch is to escape. Chase gives bestâ€"selling novelist George MacDonald‘s fictional character larger than life credibility. Chase is deadpan and deadly. The former Saturday Night Live alumnus is thorough!y physical in the leading role. This combined with a wild and woolly series of events, his constant barrage of jokes, ahd his general ‘what me, worry?‘ attitude to life :::kes Fletch one of the funniest sleuths to emerge from screen. Fletch assumes a . \;'ï¬;;“;f disguises from a squeamish surgeon to a guru on roller skates, but his best ammunition is his sureâ€"fire humor, spontaneous and rhaak u leads hEm right back to the beach *‘*With real estate I can set my own hours,"" she said. "I might have to cut down the number of people I take on but the ones I do work with will be getting 100 per cent." A real estate representative for Olsen Realty, Assimacopoulos doesn‘t think the responsibilities of being Miss Kâ€"W will interfere with her job. October is going to be a very hectic month for Assimacopoulos. Besides the Miss Canada pageant, she will also be in the Miss Oktoberâ€" fest pageant and will be representâ€" ing the city at various events throughout the week. "I think I‘ll take that between the two pageants," she said. "I‘m going to need time to recover and relax." One of the prizes for winning the title of Miss Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo is a Bahamian cruise. ‘"I greatly appreciate it because I couldn‘t do it if they weren‘t there," she said. ‘"There is a phenomenal amount of money involved." Her week long stay in Toronto will be financed by her sponsors, CHYM Radio and Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Okâ€" toberfest. "It was the only thing I could think of when I won," she said. "I didn‘t think of all the prizes I‘d won. Going to Miss Canada was the first thing that entered my mind." Her biggest challenge now is psyching herself up for the Miss Canada pageant being held in Toâ€" ronto at the end of October. For Assimacopoulos, the toughest part of the contest was the first round of eliminations. *‘Making it in the top 10 is important," she said. ‘"You like to at least say that you were a finalâ€" ist."
