What do you think of Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977).

I recall standing outside the cinema that was screening it and being compelled by the imagery on the poster and lobby cards. How I miss the old lobby cards. I was of course way too young and it was R18 in NZ.
The cinema it was screening at was likely screening kids flicks, usually Disney at the Century during holidays,
Pete's Dragon
I think, and had Goodbar on in the evening for adults. Coming to think of it, the same cinema had
In Praise Of Older Women
with Berenger on in the evening one time and Disney film
Candleshoe
I think, during the day. Berenger was a real cutie pie.
I am hard pressed to decide whether Keaton or Duvall deserved my alternate Oscar for 77'. I got to see Goodbar on vhs in the mid 80's. I didn't get to see 3 Women until 2009.

I thought Keaton was excellent in both movies, but, for me, Shelly Duvall as Millie "No, I'm American" Lammoreaux is one for the ages. My second favorite performance of all time, only bettered by her co-star's spooky-sad incarnation from 1976.

Geewizzz, you have spoken my thoughts on MG fully. I don't think it oversold anything and it was indeed a story about a unique time. Many people had double lives during those years. Bar hopping and such was a way of life and the film depicted the smoke-filled environment perfectly.
You dummy. -

Oh okay. I haven no problem with the sexual material or the violence I just felt that the movie kind of oversold it's point that just because a woman takes home a few strangers, doesn't she is putting herself in danger for the one in a million chances this would happen, unless I am wrong?

Somewhat funny review, though I don't agree with everything this guy says about the film -
2 other perspectives, the guy read the book beforehand and the girl watched the film without knowing much about it before watching it -
Are you okay?
