A gem in the rough !
In a word, WoW ! I honestly don't know how I missed this gem of a film when it came out. A friend recently lent this one to me and now I am stuck with the task of finding its' equal to lend to him. Increasingly rare today to discover such a compelling story. This is a tale of Lifes' wrongs being righted. At the center of our story Dennis Quaid aptly portrays the proud patriarch of a young suburban family of 1969 that is soon robbed of its' promise. Through the passage of time this loving family reconnects and rights the the wrongs. It is a fascinating mix of mystery, suspense, and Sci-Fi that is well done. Leaves one wondering why Hollywood has such a hard time hitting such a milestone. Finally, Quality entertainment.
She (1965)
A fun diversion !
I found the theme music haunting if not redundant. The story theme is that of changing worlds in turmoil , self discovery, adventure, and the realization that not all that is gold glitters. Assuming these themes are prevalent , I felt it did a fine job of meeding them out. It was one of those tales that spark your imagination and make you think about reality and the importance of dealing with the here and now as opposed to living a dream. Peter Cushing turned in a fine performance. Ursula Andress, what can I say... She definitely isn't soar on the eye's. The script and over all production are a bit grade "z" but I really feel that this film is a fun diversion which hallmarks a period of Sci-Fi /Fantasy adventure of the 60's. Check it out!
