Yep, the venerable "Lou." She'd passed thru that home for unwed mothers long ago, or, what seemed so long ago by then. It's a complete movie, a complete story told in a 100 mins.
Beatty, wrestlin with civil rights & changing times. And they don't dwell on it, or, take forever to get to it & thru it, or, judge it. They leave that to us. And his lawyer is fantastic:::"It-can't-be-like-it-was." Man, especially American man can never get that boiler plate thru our thick skulls....i.e., "J.C." doesn't hear a word he's telling him.
& Matt Clark rises up and is equal to the task. Injects vibrancy into the role & film. He's so upset that it's palpable.
Hot damn, yatz, thanks for citing this film. It's made my day. So many good memories. The thoughtful music throughout, some of it very beautiful, as I recall, causing introspection by & of the Cubster. And the sound effects when he rips off the bandages there at the end and takes off in his souped up sedan.
Makes my heart beat like a trip hammer.
You got it, yatz, a Tuesday afternoon Direct Hit. Tip O' the tam, yatz, bowin' at the waist.
The old yatz comin' thru for the Cubby!!!
