i be sure that writer director mike sarne thought he be develop a new cinematic paradigm when he be make joanna and but the end result be less than satisfy . genevieve waite over the top performance only make sense by the time you reach the film self mock conclusion and and by then you have have your fill of her . rod mckuen music be cloy and his singing be and a always and horrendous . scott walker when joanna love me be waste during a cringeworthy wouldream sequence . the excellent calvin lockhart ( hall of anger and room 222 ) can not save this film from the wretched performance of waite and donald sutherland and who i have never see to worse effect in his role a a die aristocrat . an interesting period piece that have age very badly .
