George Roy Hill (1921–2002)

The script is pretty awful and Sellers is completely wasted and not even remotely funny. What the hell were they thinking when they made this one? The two young leads, neither of whom had much further acting career, are the only things that make this watchable.

2021 movie #223. 1964. 14-yo girl has a crush on a concert pianist (Sellers). She and her best friend follow him about NYC. Fun picture. The girl (Tippy Walker) reminds me of a young Diane Keaton.

A losing hockey team takes to brawling.

2/4 (Indifferent).

I was under the impression this was supposed to be a comedy. They forgot the jokes. I don't know, maybe this all means something to hockey fans.

Trashy.

Trashy and antifeminist. With little to recommend it except that it's immoral, it's a real cultural toxin.

So there we go. I told myself I'd never be that person, the don't write the book person, but the movies are great, you know.
