Review of Who's That Knocking at My Door (1968) by Mark S — 11 Apr 2013
Martin Scorsese was 25 years old when he cobbled together his first film, and it's kinda brilliant in how perfectly it captures the themes that plague the rest of his work. Harvey Keitel is a young hood struggling to discover manhood on the mean streets of New York, playing heavy while the Top 40 soundtracks his small time antics.
Life gets tricky when he can't discern his girl from a broad or a bride. His brain's melted from the combo poison of too much religion and too many movies. Keitel is charismatic as all hell. His smile could charm the pants off of any imaginary prostitute.
Scorsese might hit the nail hard on the head, but Who's That Knocking is undeniably the arrival of a great American auteur. VF.
