I love films from this era because of the incredible amount of formica, cheap tile, carpet, wallpaper, concrete, glass, and steel in every shot. There's something so lush about film and television from the early 1970s. I like to remember that it was a bizarre and broken time, with Vietnam and Watergate looming over everyone. People retreated from life outside the home and focused on hair and clothing. Pop culture was very shallow and easily accessible. Films from this time all have an element of giallo with stylishness and hipster details carrying the film forward at times. This film is wonderful to watch, and the story is a bit foolish but very dramatic and engaging. And the actors turn in good performances. It's such a window into what life was like back in 1972.
