One Shocking Moment - 1965 - 7/10
A subversive film, transgressive even, that came out while Ozzie And Harriet ruled the airwaves, along with Bonanza, Donna Reed, Bewitched, My Three Sons. Whitebread saturation.
The young couple, Cliff and Mindy, leave Grand Rapids for Los Angeles.
A major career move for Cliff, compensated with countless potential female conquests.
And while he leers, gropes, pokes, he fails to see others have taken an interest in his bride Mindy.
A story of innocence, corruption, decadence. The wide-eyed hurled into the cesspool of cynicism.
The acting is abysmal throughout, unless it is a deliberate parody of wholesome America.
A rather fun curio today, this must have been a heady experience in 1965, if one could view it.
“Do you want a good time, or oblivion?”
