I saw this one when it came out and all I remember is that Sutherland was a cop and Fonda a prostitute and he was looking for something and thought she could help him,
Donald spent enough time running around on her traitor tour to get this part. He just croaked and I’m told she’s going soon goodbye good riddance can’t forget the war won’t forget them screw him and her.
I saw this film in 1972: I was bored to death. To this day I carry a lot of deep-seated anger and resentment due to my reaction. The film stinks. I only regret that decades of therapy haven’t helped me. But I am decent enough to hope both Fonda and Sutherland have reunited in heaven and are resting in peace❤.
Their political views and any influence it has ruined every city that they stay in. They move to a city , they demonstrate for all these progressive reforms, the cities turn to cesspools then they move on !! Donald should’ve stayed stayed in Canada
This is the closest thing we have to a time machine. I look seeing the New York of the past. This was of course during the apex of the 70’s crime wave & the era urban blight & decay which was exacerbated by the crack & AIDS epidemic. I’m a born & bred New Yorker so I’m biased but New York is one of the most incredible cities. I’m from the suburbs of Long Island just outside of Queens. I’ve been in the worst of the worst neighborhoods & while I’ve had shady incidents I haven’t been so anxious or fearful. It’s not like it is in the movies. Of course I saw open air drug markets & prostitutes out on the street when it was lawless in some places in the mid-90’s. Of course, the late 90’s until the mid-2010’s New York was as clean & as safe as it has ever been. It was shocking too because for part of this period I was in the Army. I didn’t witness the gradual improvement. I returned home to a fully restored NYC & drove around in awe. I wondered where all the criminals went & how it just seemed like criminals were actually scared of committing crimes. Now that’s changes. We have trashed streets filled with garbage & people selling stolen goods. Open air drug markets & hookers walking the street have returned. I’m all for keeping some non-violent offenders out of prison but just like they overreacted to crime in the 80’s-90’s with draconian punishments, they’ve overreacted again but the opposite way. They are feckless know even enablers. They’ve undermined & demonized police & the DAs are selectively enforcing laws if at all. It’s funny hearing the perspective of two actors who were famous & wealthy even back then. Of course it’s going to be a shock moving from Beverly Hills to Harlem - they are different worlds. They frame their generalizations as if they are some profound nuggets of wisdom when they are just reductive statements. This is gold though as you get to see parts of NYC in the 70’s. Some of it still looks the same & has changed little while some areas can be totally changed & completely different.
In “Dressed to Kill” DePalma brought out the best in the woefully underrated actress Angie Dickinson and his wife Nancy Allen. “Cruising” was a great suspense, thriller, horror movie.
NY in the 70s makes Auckland New Zealand feel like a small town...let that sink in - I remember coming to the UK in 1993, surrounded by people at one point, and feeling very disorientated (mainly because of jet lag) just because I couldn't "see" the street for the people...
The scenes where the cheesy film director in Blow Out tries to hire more "bimbos" to dub the scream instead of a competent voice actress. Love that sleaze ball characterization.
Très intéressant, bien que j'aie pas pu l'entendre suffisamment bien. J'espérai pas les trouver ensemble. Cest drôle, lui en train de se faire comprendre en français. Quand même, va falloir l'ecouter à nouveau avec les haut parleurs. 🆗💙⬆️🆒😔🙏👍
Kubrick was a control freak, and Altman was more 'whimsical'. So, obviously Kubrick had a hard time understanding how Altman could just leave things to chance without knowing for sure they got the shot. The truth is, this shot looks so beautiful in this film because it is an Altman film where some other shots (and even sounds) do not seem so perfect. In a film like 'Barry Lyndon', that kind of a shot would hardly have stood out, since every shot in that film is like a painting.
Remember when Jane's daughter was busted scoring drugs on the lower east side? She claimed it was part of a school project! Yeah, and l'm the Easter Bunny.
