Thicker Than Boredom
6 February 2012
Though is says 74 it seems possible to me that this very slow, dull film was actually made earlier, given how young savage looks. He had already been in one class studio film (Bad Company) but alas had not yet given up singing. His warbling over terrible songs (so much a stable of this sort of Crown International dreck) is the toughest part of the film to endure. Hard to imagine that Savage's great breakthrough in "The Deer Hunter" was only four years away.

This is one of the films that the slower it goes to explain things, the less we seem to know. Yes, they are attractive. Yes, they are standing around. Yes, they are having sex. So? A seemingly likable and talented cast is wasted. The broad Italian mob characters are perhaps supposed to be amusing but are offensive nonetheless.

Hopefully the people who saw this at the drive in were making out.
