| This blurry, grainy (because they used a poor copy of the film to make this DVD? It was the "in" thing in film back then? Or "added" to the DVD release for ambiance & effect?) dramedy flashback to the way we were at the U of M in 1972 is an interesting sociological study on the times that in the end leaves the viewer in a blurred state, saying "hunh - what?" Who is the master manipulator here?
(a.) Kelly Corcoran - gorgeous, boy-teasing rich girl about campus, as played by Cybill Shepard after leaving the Last Picture Show in Texas and before "Moonlighting" in San Francisco? (b.) Her rich Daddy as played by Eddie Albert after leaving Arnold and the Hooterville folk down on the "Green Acres" farm? or (c.) Lenny Cantrow, (Charles Grodin) who abandons his wife- played to perfection by the director's daughter deserving the Academy Award nomination she received - of less than a week on their Miami Honeymoon to go trotting off to Minnesota in the winter to "win" Kelly/Cybill? Two things are as clear as the Sky Blue waters: (1) neither director Elaine May nor screenwriter Neil Simon is very familiar with our Great State - as when Kelly and Lenny run off to the Corcoran "summer cabin in the mountains." Um, er, what Minnesota Mountain Range are we talking about here? The taconite piles up on the Iron Range? (2) Viewers will never again be able to eat an egg salad sandwich without recalling Lila Cantrow. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer |
