Review of Pulp (1972) by Marj D — 21 Jun 2010
Marvellous! Michael Caine has just the right deadpan delivery of lines for this black comedy and Mickey Rooney is perfect as Preston Gilbert. I saw this at the Edinburgh Film Festival with a Q&A by the director Mike Hodges.
He said the studio were not keen for Rooney to play the part and tried to suggest all sorts of other actors, including Victor Mature. Hodges held out for Mickey Rooney though and thank goodness he did!
