inactiveuser501 168 Posted June 18, 2013 Okay, I was holding off on this because it seemed to be only available for $40 on DVD or a cheap VHS, but now I just learned some great soul posted this on Youtube, so now is the time...  Via Wiki  Emily Hollander (Talia Shire) is the subject of a lesbian obsession at the hands of Andrea Glassen (Elizabeth Ashley), her next-door neighbor. As Emily begins dating detective Bob Luffrono (Joseph Cortese), Andrea overflows with jealousy, spying on Hollander through her own window.  The first film to be released in the 1980's, I wasn't at all sure what to make of it. Talia Shire is compete and utter garbage and is forced to have a stutter throughout the entire thing, (How will the audience know? Let's pan across a bookshelf showing books on how to control stuttering!), the first 5 minutes of this film is just this woman walking home! Elizabeth Ashley is insane, and I refuse to believe that anyone trusted her during this movie, and the villanous plot that sets this off is horrifying. Do this NOW! Before it's taken away!

sillstaw 414 Posted June 19, 2013 So which movie is more insulting towards the gay community, this or "Cruising?" Share this post Link to post
inactiveuser501 168 Posted June 20, 2013 The entire representation of the gay community in Cruising wishes they could offend as much as Elizabeth Ashley's performance here. It's like she somehow copied "Mommie Dearest" years before hand. Â The weird thing that I will say about this is that I believe that it could have worked as a "Fatal Atrraction"-style thriller (Seriously, they had a Bunny Boiling before they did), it just has no idea what it's doing. It just wanders aimlessly. Share this post Link to post
