The Acting!

I've heard so much about this wildly popular movie, from the time it came out.

40+ years later, I finally see a 20-second clip of it, from the famous scene (LMNHTSYS).

The acting ranks among the laughably worst I've ever seen in my life.

If you watch a lot of older films, you'll see there was a lot of over-acting back in the day.

Ryan O'Neal was very good, ali was fine, shes no meryl streep but she played her part very well, I know the hype is that shes awful and shes had some poor performances but this isn't really one of them
