I'm a 52 year old hunk-o-man, who loves the old movies & hates almost all of the quickie, craftless garbage they churn out today, w/ very few exceptions.. Love music (Patsy Cline, X, Smiths/Morrissey, Beth Hart, Jefferson Airplane, Blondie, Janis Joplin, Roy Rogers,...) have written, recorded, & published 5 songs that no one's heard of..lol.... Being a lover of old-time Hollywood, may someday move… Read moreI'm a 52 year old hunk-o-man, who loves the old movies & hates almost all of the quickie, craftless garbage they churn out today, w/ very few exceptions..

Lovely is such an old fashioned word, I know. But that's the word that describes this film, for me.

Having always been fascinated by Andy and his entourage, I was well aware of Brigid Berlin, his star of many of his underground films, the most famous of which was probably "Chelsea Girls."

But, she cannot act, and, she does not have the vocal chops to pull off this role. She certainly should be credited for possessing an abundance of confidence, and she looks convincing as Eva Peron. But, it is obvious she was chosen for her popularity. This is one of those cases where they put together popular stars, big budget, and all the ingredients that should make a great film, and, they… Read more
