I WONDER WHO'S KILLING HER NOW(1975)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
This is not great!! C-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
The mystery is how it could be so bad. The cast
is a great collection of comic character actors
of the 1970's. The writer has a top-notch resume
filled with wonderful comic scripts, including
his collaborations with Woody Allen (the early
movies, when Woody Allen movies were funny),
and the director isn't incompetent. There are
even some good lines in the script. (One attempt
on Joanna Barnes' life is introduced by a shot
of a shark in a swimming pool, with a sign
by the pool reading, "Acme Shark Rentals."
Bob Dishy's psychiatrist is confined to a
straight-jacket; Dishy asks him why, and
the psychiatrist replies, "We can't all
be fashion-plates.") But the result is
a mess. The actors and the director seem
to have responded to what they knew was
a failing movie with desperation -- "maybe
if we play this broader, louder, quirkier,
more over-the-top, we can make it funny."
They can't, and they don't.
So what went wrong? The temptation, this
having been a product of Hollywood in the
1970's, is to wonder who was on what drugs.
If that isn't the explanation, I'd love
to hear what was. - gimhoff
