Review of Toys (1966) by Andrew L — 13 Feb 2015

Style over substance is the key here. There are some very admirable things here and there. For starters the set are magnificent. You really do get the sense of being a kid looking at them. There is a lot of talented actors here as well, nearly all A-list stars then and now.

The single biggest problem is the screenplay. There are charming moment and an occasional funny joke, but its so far and few between. There's a twist at the end that just kills the film. Overall "Toys" is much more boring than it looks, you'd rather play with real toys instead.
