Such an underrated gem of a film
Great actors, great film. I miss these guys, both such unique talents. Pick up the Criterion blu ray, it's the only way to see it.
thanks a million for posting this!
Cassavetes best work on film IMO
the last line was so funny
Thanks for posting this. Recently watched the movie and now seeking anything related to it.
I love this movie (Elaine May’s director’s cut)
The darkest comedy to ever be filmed and I do believe it is a comedy.
Hm. Such an... interesting way they talk about Elaine May's role as a director in this movie.
I just watched a clip from TCM where Elaine May firmly states there wasn't any improvising. What is truth? Has too much time passed for that? 🤔
When you have John Cassavettes and Peter Falk acting in front of you, it's completely understandable why you'd want to just put on the camera and let it roll. Get out of the way. She was quite correct: they very well may have come back! These guys were the kings of unpredictable and naturalism and authenticity! Isn't Sandy Meisner in this movie? She got Sandy Frickin' Meisner in a movie! Playing a gangster, if I remember correctly. Where else are you see THAT? These stories are pretty wild, though, I won't lie.
It has some deep feminist satire, below a cloud of destructive machismo.
The way they talk about Elaine May.... "I gave him the cut sign", overriding her direction. They need to learn some respect.
The best movie ever directed by a woman
them just roasting elaine
A testament to artistic genius and technical dumbness. I wonder if they show this to movie executives so they learn to never trust the talent.
I think this was the worst film I have ever viewed. The porno flick "Miss Kinsley's Report" had a better script and superior acting.
Who was the sound guy on this? my god....
