Must Be The Only One To Love This Movie


I must be and I've seen it so many times, found it on Canadian Amazon in VHS as it isn't on DVD. Am I the only one who thought Lindsey Crouse was superb? And Mandy Patemkin was off the charts, especially in the beginning of the movie. The whole New York immigrant Jewish leftist scene reminded me of what certain family members' college years must have been. The Paul Robeson concert, Ed Asner, Tovah Feldshuh, Ellen Barkin, ohmigosh, the movie rocked. Though the Tim Hutton character was weak. I didn't like his voiceovers about torture methods through the ages, but this came straight out of Doctorow's book of the same name.

Loved it for Hutton. Plummer was a revelation.

Well, I'm glad to say to you that I'm another one to absolutely love this movie, which I just finished watching for the first time. Another Lumet masterpiece. 10/10 stars from me.
