Cool It Carol

A real artifact from 1970 England. As I was watching this I imagined a tiny darkened British cinema room with a handful of audience, watching this film during the few weeks it was playing on their movie screens. At the time, this film was surely viewed as ultra-modern but watching it today it seems so ultra-dated, but.......I like that. It's wonderful fun to watch the way men and woman interact in this. The British customs and manners on display throughout the film are a relic of times gone by but I enjoyed stepping into this time machine that shot me back to that era. I'm sure you know the general storyline so I will just mention that the leading lady is a very sweet girl who begins to get herself into some challenging escapades with her boyfriend as they take a stab at success in big brassy swinging London town circa 1970. I kept waiting for a catastrophic calamity to befall the two but......but......well, I shan't give the ending away. The disc comes with a superbly entertaining and comical trailer that compliments the main feature..not just rehashes it. One minor quibble......the girl on the dvd cover art surely is not the female star of the movie--I don't know why they DO these things!                          7/18/08
