Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Steven Spielberg has his shortcomings--he’s not an ace at either psychology or humor--but what he does, he does overpoweringly well. Crackling with action, grandiose set-pieces and childlike fervor and abandon, this is the best of the Indiana Jones trilogy--though perhaps it wasn’t startling enough for 1989 audiences. As boy Jones and Jones Sr., River Phoenix and Sean Connery (right) provide appealing bookends for hero Harrison Ford (left). (HBO Wednesday at 8 p.m.)
