Review of John and Mary (1969) by Michael D — 10 Mar 2008
I caught this movie on the Fox movie channel late tonight. I absolutely loved it. It's full of smart dialogue and innovative (even for today) story movement. Dustin Hoffman is at his late-1960s cutest and Mia Farrow is charming.
A really nice and realistic romance about 2 people unsure and a bit scared and bruised, but hopeful and willing to try. Man - if only one night stands were really this lovely - who wouldn't want to have a day like this? I would love to see this film remade (most of the dialogue could remain, actually).
I'm thinking Keri Russell in Mia Farrow's role . . . but I'm always thinking Keri Russell . . .
