Warm memories, little else, 28 December 2000
Author: mjhannon from St Louis, Mo

Reading the comments of other reviewers sparked my memory of my first viewing of Joanna. I saw it in a practically empty theater; and as the story came to an end, I was not impressed but not completely dissatisfied, as I remember. Then the cast and crew broke into that delightfully silly and raucous rendition of the title song, complete with kick line. I was so flabbergasted and enchanted that I stayed for a second show (you could actually do that in those days!). I talked a friend into coming back a few days later, and he was just as delighted.

I have the soundtrack (lp record) and still play it once in a while. The final track still raises hairs on the back of my neck as I remember the surprise I felt when I first heard it. My wife, who has not seen the film, cannot understand what I am talking about when I try to explain that a rather poor, innocuous, silly piece of "hippiness" can evoke such nostalgia.
