It's a scorcher out there as Savant sneaks this final review out for the week.
Fox's Modesty Blaise is a tough nut to crack, a campy spy spoof that's consistently interesting, even when it's hard to nail down anything that's really working in it. One of those pictures that's impossible to follow, and a comedy without any really successful jokes .... well, if this sounds confusing, read the review. Monica Vitti, Terence Stamp and Dirk Bogarde star in this elaborate, expensive, colorful ... uh ... movie.
A fun trifle came in the door yesterday, Anchor Bay's new disc of the kiddie favorite, MAD MONSTER PARTY. Just the thing to fill out next week, and compensation for missing out on a screening of REIGN OF FIRE tonight. Why? The preview people didn't want anyone in the audience over 40 years old! Hey! How dare you discriminate against me, you, you, young whippersnappers, you college boys, I know your kind, and I'll be watching, you betcha, just you wait, where's my cane gotten to?.... See you soon, Glenn Erickson
