jrnorman Review of Little Treasure

Little Treasure (1985)

A quirky movie that does not fit any genre cleanly

[7/10 · 23 August 2017]

I found this a strange little movie that seems part serious drama about some damaged people, part comedy, part romance, part just entertainment. The fact is all over the place may account for a lot a people not being too high on this movie. So it is not a great movie but I found a number or things to like. So Burt Lancaster chews up the scenery - he always has no matter what he was in. It is classic Lancaster at his best. Margot Kidder carries the movie with a mostly unlikable character. Everyone else is mostly filler and scenery. Ted Danson's character is a real loser who with Margot's character mostly heal each other in the end. I like to watch it every 3 or 4 years so I can look for the little bits that forgot since the last time.
