The Citizen, 1996-04-24, Page 26111 . 10114rage MX! By John Schedler I won't comment on the book as I haven't read it, but the film version of The Bridges of Madison County **** (Warner) is simply wonderful. Meryl Streep is perfect as the farm wife who has a four-day love affair with a National Geographic photographer (Clint Eastwood) who arrives to shoot Iowa's famed covered bridges. While Streep's convincing and rich performance is the core of this film, as both actor and director Clint Eastwood continues to prove what a fine filmmaker he is. Highly recommended! (Rated PG) Families will no doubt welcome the release on video of The Aristocats *** (Disney - $28.99 or less) the first of the Disney Studio's animated features to be produced after Walt's death. Superbly drawn and animated the film was overseen by some of the studio's most respected talents including Frank Thomas and 011ie Johnson, whose work over the year's is legendary A cross between Lady & The Tramp and 101 Dalmations the plot follows a cat named Dutchess, her adorable kittens and the perils they face when catnapped.
