Description: A somewhat rare Otto vehicle from ’71 with Dyan Cannon in the lead. Things to look for: A nearly naked and dancing Burgess Meredith (oh the humanity); Dyan Cannon was just plain hot back then; some surreal and drug induced scenes that kinda take you by surprise; crazy 70s fashion and decor… Starring Jennifer O’Neill, who also filmed in Summer of ’42
ANOTHER STRANGE-BIRD PREMINGER FILM FINDS HIM OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE, KIND OF, AND DEALING WITH FEMINISM, CASUAL SEX, INFIDELITY AND SO ON IN THE NEW DECADE OF THE 70’S. IN FACT, PREMINGER THOUGHT THE CHARACTER IN THE BOOK WAS TOO MUCH OF A FEMINIST FOR HIS LIKING SO HE HAD HER TONED DOWN. HMM. GUESS THE WRITING WAS ON THE WALL WITH THIS ONE. HE AND STAR DYAN CANNON FOUGHT DAILY AND BOTH VOWED NEVER TO WORK WITH EACHOTHER AGAIN.THE FILM IS A TIME-CAPSULE OF THE LATE 60’S/EARLY 70’S AND DOESN’T AGE WELL IN PARTS. THE COMEDY IS FUNNY, IF IT’S NOT TOO TOPICAL, WHICH IS THE SIGN OF GOOD COMEDY. THERE’S SOME OF THAT HERE WITH A NICE ENSEMBLE CAST THAT FEATURES CANNON’S CANNONS (PHOTO-FAKED IN THAT POLAROID BUT A NICE BLACK TOP THAT’S SEE-THROUGH-ISH), A NAKED BURGESS MEREDITH AND FAT COCO IN A DUMPY UNDERSHIRT AND TIGHT DRESS SHIRTS. AN ENJOYABLE FILM DESPITE SOME OF ITS FLAWS.
