Review of Melvin and Howard (1980) by Lee M — 28 Jun 2015
The film offers a bittersweet commentary about chasing the American Dream of monetary success and mobility and the constant attempt to rise above one's situation by naive and optimistic characters, not fully aware of their class limitations.
Very few movies are set so convincingly in America's working class. I believed, and liked, Melvin Dummar, milkman of the month, bargainer in good faith with the universe.
