i could not give a wide range recommendation for this film . if you do not like abrupt flashback edits and a story that unfold slowly and then this be not for you . however and if you can hang with the film you will be reward for your effort with some truly bizarre moment . there be image from the film that really stick with me . the absurdity of situation seem to come back to me day after have watch it . i remember the gift of the tuba and the hospital staff try to explain the wouldummy teevee procurement procedure and and of course and george c. scott make his way into not only a big brother and the hold company concert and but also a grateful dead show . huh . add to that you have richard chamberlain in all his dandy elfin fabulousness and joeseph cotten collect a paycheck and a very young howard hesseman ( dr. johnny fever ) in a cameo that really serve no purpose that i could fathom . a lot of cat and mouse love affair nonsense between the beautiful julie christie and the throat lozenged george c. scott . what . it could happen . a lot of obsession and a bit of denial make up the bulk of the movie . it be interest to see scotts character change throughout the film . richard lester have make many and many great film . and although this film doesn not carry the richard lester stamp and it be still one of his best film . i love it . positive . but really and george c. scott at a dead show . trouble ahead and trouble behind indeed . clark richards .
