Audience Member How this movie has been nearly forgotten is beyond me. Most people born after 1972 probably haven't seen it and until today I was one of them. Now don't get me wrong this is a made for TV movie and most of them aren't good. I expected very little but I really enjoyed it. Sadly I had to watch a poor copy on youtube but it's worth it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was very "interesting". I watched the entire movie on a stationary bike at home. The only reason I forced myself watching the whole movie was because I couldn't access to the TV remote control to turn it off. If you have nothing better to do other than exercising on a bike, I would recommend this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This comes so close to knocking Casablanca and Fog of War out of my Top 2, it isn't even funny. So here's what you get. 74 awe-inspiring minutes of watching paint dry. Brilliant short stories turned into so much made-for-tv tripe. But, it is a made-for-tv movie (a Tuesday Movie of the Week, in fact) from 1972. And Francis Ford Coppola had something to do with it. But it is awful. Glorious, deliriously so. Get a copy and share with friends before there's a run on it or something. For my part, I'm waiting patiently for a special edition box set. Just to give you a little flava of the film, here's my special tribute photo gallery: http://tinyurl.com/69mxbg Shout out: To Flixster for posting this movie at my request. Thank you for being part of the solution. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
