All those contemporary spoof movies may look idiotic a few decades from now.<br /><br />Artman - I've never seen Eraserhead. Should I stay away?<br /><br />Tommy - Let me know what you think of it if you see it.<br /><br />KC - THat's why I'm drawn to Tuesday Weld. It doesn't matter what she's doing on screen, she's always captivating.<br /><br />Sarah - your love for 60's bizareness makes you ultra-cool!<br /><br />Tom - Oh no! Sounds like many other teen films. Wasn't Olivia Newton John in her early 30s when she made Grease?<br /><br />Mercurie - It doesn't surprise me that you liked this film. I like what you say about Weld about her blend of innocence and sexuality. I think she's kind of like Sandra Dee but with more of a healthy balance between the two aspects.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-61798237959710368872009-11-02T20:56:34.562-05:002009-11-02T20:56:34.562-05:00Somehow I don't think you'll be surprised ...Somehow I don't think you'll be surprised to hear I like this film. It is an example of the sort of left of centre movies that could only be made in the mid-Sixties. I do have to agree. Tuesday Weld is very Tuesday Weld in this movie--vibrant, pixie-ish, a strange brew of innocence and sexuality. What's funny is that while she plays a teenager, she was already 23 when she made this film!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-27548716692539607962009-11-02T19:06:15.326-05:002009-11-02T19:06:15.326-05:00Roddy plays a high schooler?

The one scene that really weirded me out though was that sweater scene where her father buys them and then they start making like animal noises...<br />But I really liked it anyhow:D I liked you post though!Sarah Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896687782349327373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-89317297505551301692009-11-02T13:18:46.981-05:002009-11-02T13:18:46.981-05:00Aw so you've seen it now! And you can see what...Aw so you've seen it now! And you can see what I mean about how bizarre it is. I had high hopes, but in the end, it was just a baffling spectacle. Still, I loved Tuesday Weld. She is fearless--and for that reason she never bores me. I'm glad I saw it, and I may even see it again someday. But now I'm bummed because that repetitive theme song is in my head!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587905976811500791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-24423416502765891392009-11-02T10:42:49.532-05:002009-11-02T10:42:49.532-05:00This reminds me of stuff like The Magic Christian,...This reminds me of stuff like The Magic Christian, very much a product of their changing times.

But when I finally tracked it down a few years ago and watched it again, I thought "What was I thinking?" It's a film that really has not stood the test of time. You said it quite well, Raquelle: "This is one bizarre film."pjowens75https://www.blogger.com/profile/09635922968646136515noreply@blogger.com
