Review of Cactus Flower (1969) by Michael S — 22 Dec 2018
Not much to say about this except Goldie Hawn was perfect and probably deserved the Oscar she got. I was 13 years old in 1969 and never had much interest in watching this until it showed up on Amazon Prime.
Great nostalgia piece for the 60s whether you lived it or are interested in it. All those record covers at the record store, wow! Today if you did something like that you'd probably have to pay some kind of copyright fee for each and every one.
Some familiar music in the club dancing scenes turn out to be Quincy Jones versions of Monkees, To Sir With Love, a couple others. Turns out these versions were even on the official soundtrack album. Unfortunately every scene that doesn't include Hawn is pretty ho-hum.
