As someone Who actually had this Operation as a youth, They only missed a couple of salient points, but overall a good movie, I did not have Phimosis, But wanted the operation from 10 or 12 years old, my mum died when I was 13 and then I developed Malignant Melinoma at fifteen, so fear was not a problem as I was certain I would die in the first five years, so at the five year visit to my doctor, He said this is goodbye no more visits required, I told the Doctor my wish And the scary looking cyst under the skin was my excuse, My doctor arranged the operation next Week, Compared to the cancer operation this was a walk in the park, waking up after shortly after the operation, ( still in the operating room) it hurt a lot, later when I woke I was fine, besides pain meds. You need a drug to stop erections, ( thats why its done as a baby) I walked funny ( like a bad back) for three days, after the stitches where out ( a week I think) Doctor Swane said no Sex for another week, I "visited" a female friend the next day, Ok this is the big fail of the Film, This was The Most incredible Sexual Experience of my Life, ( Could "Feel" like never before or after) that was 43 years ago,
Problem with this film it's Audience is mostly dead, To me in this time period people who do and have lived Amazing lives are called liars or Crazy, and no one would believe them even if they did mention something truly Amazing, in these current times especially Life must be lived to a certain woke narrative , My life has been Amazing ( Not all good of course) but amazing none the less, So something like this is just the way life is for some people, And most people can't or won't understand Awesome, Just like " Maple Leaf" had no idea, So I did Really enjoy Watching this Film and Will watch it again, I hope in A better future This Director gets to Make more great Films,
I'm only writing this to find out if this is the first movie with Spyderco products featured ? Was there one, or two different model's featured
? (Spyderco are world famous Collectable Pocket Knives)
By far not his best work, I missed most of the "regular" cast, as I am a Fan of Sidaris films, Could of given more time to the F40 Ferrari As the acting of more than half the cast was under par,(Even by Sidaris standards) And not as likeable as most of the regular Sidaris cast, some of the jokes worked, most of the action scenes where not as exiting as in most Sidaris films, For me even my 13 year old inner self was not impressed or satisfied.
I have avoided this film for many decades, I prefer Roger's and Hammerstein Musicals and Musical Comedys, This film suprised me, the "Purple" Number with Danny Kaye was Funny and the Highlight of the film for me, And has me intrigued as why the Attack on Robert Helpmann ? Its seemed very personal. Did he insult someone ? " I'm not a dancer I'm a CHOREOGRAPHER ! "
So I digress , The opening song with Bing Crosby singing just with a music box , Showcase's why he was such a big star.
The minstrel number shows someone's forward thinking, I can see there is a story behind that decision . See the film just for curiosity's sake.
I love James May, (But keep to Toys, Cars' ect) .So it pains me to write this, I'm just a home cook but after Fifty years you learn a bit. To eject the Spam from the can you insert butter knife parallel to the surface. At 25 degrees and slowly lift upwards.
To prepare a Leek you must split the Leek in half lengthways and wash each "half ring" unless you want Gritty food. Sorry to watch you " Crash and Burn" James
While most of you have never heard of the comic book Character Rank Zerox. (Sex android with an uncontrollable temper) Bad Frank bought back fond memories.
I loved this film.. as much as John Wick ? Or more ? Frank taking everything so much more Personal. I want to see Bad Sonny err.. (I'm Sonny) I mean Bad Frank deux
I just binged watched this and found it very enjoyable. I would of liked more pseudoscience. Something like the Nexus point of an adjoining dimension. Or a Plato type universe. And a little less Treasure hunting. But I hope someone picks up the Mythos and we see a new adventure with a new bunch of Antagonists.
Yes I'm afraid 12 thousand miles away it was no different in Sydney Australia at that time ( of course no Africans at that time) But as tough as New York maybe tougher Some murders . Lots of Overdose's Sex and drugs out of control. I was a very lonely overweight orphan teenager who had just survived Cancer. I spent all my money on sex and the hunt. Only the kindness I received from these Girls, Women, People. That got me though . So as I watch this show I find it's scary real to me. I'm watching the series for the third time. I will tell you the saddest thing I remember about that time. The girls much worse than Candy/ Maggie Afterwards being so Greatfull and thanking me.. the Bug
Won't get me wrong I love Godzilla, And he looks the part, and all the monsters are adequate, The Three biggest problems, The story did NOT move forward anywhere near the way it needed to, The actors and there Characters did not work together in an acceptable manner, And tnere was just so much "face palm" Oh my God stupidity, I just watched "The Meg" No where near as bad as this truly terrible film, ( Rainn Wilson was very good) Thomas Middleditch ( yikes ! ) Hey I don't blame the Actors, But I do feel sorry for them, The Director and Writer on the other hand... life in solitary confinement , Seriously I nearly walked out twice, I have not paid to see a movie in a cinema this Bad since I sat thought Black Hole in 1979,
I also saw this film on TV in Sydney Australian several times in the late nineteen sixties and early seventies. Very scary and Moody with a great soundtrack . martin landau was a skeptical paranormal investigator and there was a twist with a tourist scam going wrong .and a tragic death and mistaken supernatural identity.the scene where the "ghost" is revealed is super scary and original i have most of my favorite ghost story films on DVD like "lets scare Jessica to death" "ugetsu" "the uninvited" "13 gantry row" "carnival of souls" and "The shining so if there is a DVD of ghost of it can be found I want a copy too
I watched this as a young boy back in the Sixty's and I liked the low budget, but arty look, The way the camera tracked the moving motorcycle in the credits and with a catchy theme song that I can still remember, This show never made me think of Abbott and Costello, a little like "Laurel and Hardy",But with a different edge, Not in the ripoff category like "Gilligan" and the "Skipper", in "Gilligan's Island" Now that I am aware that this Classic kids show of the sixty's is available on DVD ,I will buy it for my Wife as she was not able to watch T.V. as a girl And as we have the same taste in Comedy She will enjoy it for the first time and I will be very happy to view this again as a "mature adult".
I too saw this film when I was young,15,in 1974, and enjoyed it, But I was in hospital, (with cancer)and very scared, And seeing this film cheered me up and that it why I think have never forgotten it, I too always remembered the theme song, and when I found a DVD of the film, I was fearful that I would spoil the fond memories that I had, I am happy to say that this is still a fun little treasure movie, with lot's of underwater action, good performance's from all the cast , France Nuyen has always been a favorite of mine ,I also like Ricardo Montalban, and seeing this film again, I would say that this is my favorite performance by Bradford Dillman, only trouble with his character is, Why did someone so "Camp" Have a Girlfried ? (I loved the conversation he had with his Mother)
One thing I did not remember was what an attractive girl Lana Wood was.

A wonderful film ahead of its time,
I think so, In the eighty's it was all about winning, Greed is Good ? Remember that one ? I have seen this film more that 20 times, To me this is a real desert island film, I keep watching because there is always something more to learn about these flawed characters that I just love, Jessica Tandy, and Hume Cronin, are simply wonderful,Also Beverly D'angelo, Beau Bridges come in at a close second, don't get me wrong there are many more great performance's in this film, and it is also the way it is written that made it for me, and I hope you, a film that you will want to see over and over, I think TV shows like "Northen Exposure", and now "Earl" owe a lot to this film. but remember it is not a Tom Cruise film.

I love this show, Even though I have not seen an episode in more than thirty years , Funny thing is I am reminded of this show all the time as my wife is very much in personality ,And a little in looks ( the hair is perfect)like Imogene Coca !!! I would love to see this on DVD but I am not big on dodgey tapes DVD etc. so if the genuine product comes out I will be first in line to buy it ,Just to see the look on my wife's face , (she has never seen "It's about time" or any show with Imogene Coco. Also I like anything with Jack Mullaney remember him from the Dr Goldfoot Movie's with VIncent Price ? And Joe E Ross , ooh, ooh, That was Funny, What has happened the comedy ? now a days its ether cruel, rude, or nasty
