Review of There's Always Vanilla (1971) by Jason H — 26 Sep 2009
Right off the bat let it be said that the only real reason to see this movie is it's director. Romero feared being pidgeonholed as a horror director so he made this after Night of the Living Dead. While he has since alllowed himself to be pidgeonholed (thankfully), this is stil an interesting movie.
It suffers alot of problems for sure and it was never completed properly. However Ray Laine is rather good in this movie and Judith Ridley is sure nice to look at. It doesn't really offer anything new however it does give us a glimpse of what Romero could do with a non-horror film so it has some signifigance.
The scene involving the meaning behind the title at the end of the film is rather good however so I'll give it an extra half star. Interesting as a historical footnote but not much use for most filmgoers.
