The Ruling Class 1972
THE RULING CLASS (1972)
Dir: Peter MedakThe premise of the film is absolute gibberish and totally inconsequential. The methods, if any, are mad. The performances are exceptional, but I wonder if they are really performances. The film tosses convention out the window and dares the viewer to like it. Yet, it holds one's interest with a type of constipated fitfulness. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure what I really saw.

You'll Like My Mother 1972
YOU'LL LIKE MY MOTHER (1972)
Dir: Lamont JohnsonFor some reason I expected to see "edited for television" flashed on the screen as this film started. Then I remembered I was in a theater.

Oh yes, Patty Duke stars in the effort. Definitely a credit for her to forget.

After an hour or more of making glorious gun noises,…

PSYCHO (1960)
Dir: Alfred Hitchcock--Unlocking the Zipper of the Mind--
Janet Leigh, clad in a bra which she threatens to pop out of and a slip which you strain to see through, walks about her room at the Bates Motel.
She is getting ready to take a shower. With the camera discreetly avoiding the obvious, Janet strips and steps under the running water. She is trying to wash away her sins and the water beats down sensuously on her…
