Sweet and charming, 2009-07-19
This movie is very much of its time, not just with the groovy clothes and all the talk about hippies. The cinematography and acting style all seem very dated. It's basically the stage play in front of a camera--nearly all the action takes place in Don's apartment, and the delivery of the lines is very stage-y. The clever quips are charming but also are very typical of a Broadway play.
However, I still really enjoyed the movie. While it seemed stiff in many ways, the characters are amazingly complex. Don, the young blind man, doesn't just want to be independent of his mother, he wants to be treated like a regular person by everyone. Jill is a free spirit, but her flightiness is a mask for real emotional scars. And even Don's mother who comes off as a stereotype at first grows and changes over the course of the film.
Edward Albert is handsome in a Ken-doll kind of way, and while he's a good actor, he speaks in a very affected way that was occasionally annoying. He's hit or miss at playing blind; he's more convincing in some shots than others. But Goldie Hawn really shines. This film was impossible to find for a long time. I'm really glad it's out on DVD finally.
Love Comedy, 2009-04-11
Based on the play of the same name this is the story of a blind youmg man,Don Baker(Edward Albert) who has his mind set to make his own life for himself despite his handicap. He leaves the security of his parent's home and takes an apartment in San Francisco; he promises his mother(Eileen Heckart)that if he cannot make it on his own in three months he will return home. His first acquaintance is his next door neighbor, Jill Tanner(Goldie Hawn), an aspiring actress; she is enthralled with his sense of humor and they become fast friends and lovers. This ideal situation is wrecked, naturally by his overpowering, overly protective mother and the fact that Jill lands a job and the producer wants her to perform not only on screen or stage but also off screen or stage.
Couldn't watch it all - irritatÃngly cute, 2010-03-12
I couldn't take too much of this film - when the blind fellow began to play the guitar, that was it for me.
The actress who played the mother won an Oscar for her performance, so I should have another look at the film the next time
it's on Turner Classic Movies. But buy it? No way. I erased it after seeing about 40 minutes of it. I agree with the
other one star review.
PISS POOR COMPANY, 2009-11-11
