Gene, Liza, Burt are runners in ’Lucky Lady'

“Lucky Lady” starring Gene Hackman. Liza Minnelli and Burt Reynolds as a trio of adventurers seeking their fortune in rumrunning off the MexicanAmerican coast during Prohibition premieres Friday at the Lake Theatre in Warsaw. The huge-sea le romantic act ion adventure filmed on location in Mexico co-stars John Hillerman ("What's Up. Doc?." “Paper Moon" and "Chinatown”), Michael Hordern (“The Yellow Rolls-Royce”), Geoffrey Lewis ("The Great Waldo Pepper,” “The Wind and the Lion," “Smile”) and Robby Benson (“Jeremy.” TV’s "Death Be Not Proud”). "Lucky Lady" is set in 1930, a time when lawlessness had become casually accepted as the American way of life. Prohibition had been in full swing for a decade but most Americans thought no more of taking a swig of illegal booze than they do these days of taking a slightly larcenous approach to their income tax. As a matter of fact, when the Great Depression muzzled the exuberant roar of the Roaring 20's, things would have become really desperate were it not for the good work of those modernday buccaneers, the rumrunners. They were a tough and individualistic group. They had to face an almost overwhelming series of adversaries; the coast guard, the treasury department, the organized <:rime boys from Chicago, and the sea itself. In the film, Kibby (Gene Hackman), Claire (Liza Minnelli) and Walker (Burt Reynolds) have turned to rum-running aboard their sloop, “Lucy Lady,” as an exciting way to realize their get-rich-quick dreams. They are people who like to live life at a heightened pitch, banger is fun; the thrill of it binds them more strongly than mere sentimentality. The setting of the action is Rum Row. the area notorious ckiring prohibition as the center of the west coasts illegal liquor trade. Here ships from all over the world brought their illicit cargoes for transfer to smaller vessels owned by independent bootleggers who risked their lives to reap windfall profits by running booze to a thirsty America. There was Brother Bob Estrom, sailing the “Messenger of Peace,” Havana Candy, Stingray Jake Bunton and Abner Florey in his ship, the "Kid Boots." But there is no doubt that Kibby and Walker were in the vanguard while the undisputed queen of the blockade runners was Claire, the tough-talking, hard-loving mistress of the "Lucky Lady.” Against this background of high adventure, spirited humor and rousing action, writers Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz created a personal story. As a matter of fact, very, very personal. What starts our as a business partnership soon turns into a loose triangle. For somewhere along the way, unexpectedly Kibby and Claire and Walker find the perfect relationship and away of life. Capturing the full scope and flavor of the “Lucky Lady” era and high seas adventure proved to be a monumental moviemaking task for the production team led by Stanley Donen and producer Michael Gruskoff. To recreate the fascinating rum-running operations that took place between Mexico and California, some 60 vessels —old trawlers, fishing smacks, cargo ships, yachts, cutters, tugs, sloops, ketches, speedboats and barges — were used. Offshore from the small fishing port of Guaymas. Mexico, this armada engaged in a spectacular sea battle between bootleggers at the film’s breathtaking conclusion. Much of the action of the film takes place aboard the “Lucky Lady” herself, a 63-foot cutter built for racing in the 30's. Normally manned by a crew of eight, the racing cutter had some 50 people aboard when it put to sea for shooting purposes The small craft, overloaded with actors, technicians and their equipment, experienced every kind of weather during the five months of filming — squalls, brutally hot sun and galeforce winds. The summer turned out to be untypical for the waters of the
