At this point I don't care who. If this is gonna go on at all.

To get this show back on the road I'll put this one on my netflix list and post a review hopefully this weekend.

Ok just finished Man of the Century.

First reaction is this was quite an enjoyable movie, I am surprised I missed this one when it first came out.

The "fish out of water" Johnny is introduced in a silent movie format with old fashion organ music and subtitles. He is then dropped into the modern time. The interaction between him and his girlfriend brought a lot of laughs with him ideas that romance is a chaste thing and sex only happens after marrage while she can not understand why all the hints of wanting to get more serious goes over his head.

The ending seemed to be out of a 30's 40's movie like the Thin Man meets the Front Page. It dose work quite well.

So this is a movie I can certainally recomend.


Are we continuing this thread or are we going on to the JD Horror movie thread?
If so I will look thru my list for one to assign next.
