Tonight's feature: Wild Guitar, starring Arch Hall Jr. and Ms. Vicky.
Oh, where to begin? Just say Arch Hall Jr. and you have a good start. He has it all. The pushed in, pug nosed, beady eyed face that only a mother could love. The massive, "wish a mad barber would chop it off" type of hair that he can't stop running his comb through endlessly.
Its not hard for Arch to play the dumb hick from sticksville USA. He's a natural. Can anyone do the chicken neck, wide beady-eyed look better than Arch? Can anyone claim to be any more wooden or sing and deliver lines with more obvious raw amateurism? No need to answer.
The crowd that went wild at his fortuitous singing debut must have been paid off or they were listening to something off stage that we didn't see. Aside from the absorbing plot points, of which there were many, the highlight of the film has to be the hip three stooges act that abducts Arch for a ransom. I was on my knees begging for relief by the time they finished their negotiations with Arch over how much money to demand.
No wait, the real highlight was Arch's touching, molasses slow, romantic ballad to his girlfriend, Vicky. Dogs two blocks away howled for hours after he hit those yodeling off pitch high note croons.
Wild guitar? Arch! Pick it up or Ms. Vicky is going to dump you and go back to ice skating.
