Gelfer may have missed the mark with this one, but she displays enough technical skill and empathy for her characters to deserve another shot. Read full review

A crushing bore of a screen romance starring one of writer Norman Mailer’s nine children. Read full review

Save Mailer’s pushy “New Yawk” accent, the leads do what they can with their unconvincing characters and the rusty plot, but it’s a hopeless effort. Nice opening title sequence though. Read full review

John Buffalo Mailer is very charming in this role, and saves the film from sliding into cheesiness. I recommend this film for people interested in romantic films that harken back to the 1950s.
