The fidelity to the period sometimes comes across as parody; but however you take it, it's worth taking in.

Goodbye, Norma Jean

Goodbye, Norma Jean insults the memory of Marilyn Monroe and the intelligence of anyone who sees it; otherwise, it's not bad.

Leadbelly

The Story of Adele H
(1975)
|
Steve Warren

The film moves with a special grace and beauty that only Truffaut can achieve. But the story is told too well... Romantic as I am, The Story of Adele H. was too much for me to take.

Robin and Marian

Richard Leister directed Robin and Marian, his finest film yet in many respects. He adds his antic comedy to the beginning, but lets love and adventure carry the bulk of the film.

The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox

What happens to them along the way is of no consequence, but helps the time pass amusingly. Unfortunately they're not as funny in the picture as they were at the Academy Awards plugging it.

W.C. Fields and Me

I'm not crazy about Steiger, but he does a hell of a job in this one. Giving us a rounded portrait of an unhappy clown, a man who drank constantly to prove his manhood.

If, like me, you've said you never want to hear the word "Watergate" again, relent for 2 hours and 20 minutes; otherwise, you'll miss a great movie.

Logan's Run
(1976)

What's missing is originality in the plot. Some good ideas are established in the beginning, but they're jettisoned in favor of the "Man against the System" story that turns up in at least one sci-fi film a year.

Director Nicolas Roeg is more concerned with blowing your mind than feeding your head. There are some good scenes, and Bowie fans will be interested in seeing him act(?); but I prefer substance to technique, if a picture's going to make me choose.
