Review of The Telephone Book (1971) by Eric R — 27 Apr 2010
This film is incredibly sexual, especially for an American film. Unless you are counting straight up pornography. Its an incredibly well executed film in every regard as the shot compositions and sound design perfectly counterbalance the sexual comedic tone that for some reason reminded me of Czech sex comedies.
Really a hidden gem of a film that could have never gotten exposure at the time of its release. The script is very clever as well and had me interested from beginning to end. Its funny that the only thing Nelson Lyon really went on to was 20 SNL episodes.
An amazing experience.
