in which liz taylor plays a high class hooker. i was channel surfing at my parents house yesterday and this was on turner classic movies - i started from about halfway thru and couldn’t stop. afterwards i met up w my mom at the beach and she told me that it’s one of her favorites. we watched the whole thing together last nite.
Goldie hawn living in sf in the 70s (but it’s clearly filmed in ny) with her blind next door neighbor who she charms into oblivion with all of her girlish quirks. idk I watched it on cable when I was at a formative age and its been my sick day movie ever since. Harold And Maude is probably the much better version of this movie…
This is a movie I’d never heard of until recently, but it seems like it should be a stone-cold classic. (Perhaps it IS—my film education is spotty.) It is about a mid-1980s era Bad Girl who loves sex and is angry and lives on the Irish seaside. You can get it on various streaming services. I’m a sucker for any piece of art about an irrepressible wench. good poster too!
watched this last week and was blown away by linda manz. not only a fantastic teen performance (rare) but a shock of a performance period. she's fiery and tender despite herself. great voice. woulda changed my life to see this at 13.
worth watching just for her but also for this one scene, won't spoil, with dennis hopper & a bottle of whiskey that is maybe one of my favorite things i've seen in a film.
