Peroxide Passion

I admit that I'm a sucker for a romantic comedy, as long as the movie truly is romantic and a comedy. Many films today are incredibly mean-spirited and unfunny, which is a true shame. It feels like the innocence of the RC is lost.

PEROXIDE PASSION is a throw-back to the days of the screwball comedy with modern independent sensibilities and it works wonderfully. Picture a modern version of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and you'll understand where this one is coming from.

You Tube has a clip of this film with a featured part for the late great William Preston who played Oldy Olsen of The Conan O'Brien Show and appeared in numerous films including "Malatesta's Carnival Of Blood" 1973), "Lady In a Corner" (where he played a millionaire, unusual in that he usually played homeless bums) "The Fisher King" (1991) "Waterworld" (1995) "The Crucible" (1996) and "Illuminata" (1998). He should be added in the cast list. It may be his last credit, as he passed away in 1998 and this film was released in 2001. Bill did not begin acting until the age of 50 and gained his greatest fame in the last years of his life. He was a poet and a well spoken man, not exactly the eccentric oddball he usually played.
