Sexist movie with a gorgeous 60’s aesthetic. I did find it entertaining enjoyable and funny . You can’t really go wrong with Jack Lemmon but leave any snowflake/ wokeness behind you and just enjoy it as a cinephile . If the score sounds familiar to you it’s by Neal Hefti of Odd Couple and 1960s Batman fame . Virna Lisi appears angelic in PERFECT 1960s makeup. Bonus points for breaking the fourth wall with je nai se quoi courtesy of Terry-Thomas

Misogynistic film . I am a fan of Ralph Meeker’s acting . Interesting seeing how versatile Jean Stapleton was outside of All in the family . Carroll Baker Is amazing too. The movie has that 60’s aesthetic but overall is pretty disturbing .

Cast a Dark Shadow 1955
I need a re boot with Simon Pegg taking over the lead from Sir Dirk Bogarde. Netflix are you listening? Lots of good strong female roles too

I didn’t see it in a theatre but on Netflix -it didn’t look so great -didn’t make sense to me and took me…
