Run Away,Video Viewer, Run Away

S-L-O-W, poorly scripted 70s junk What a disappointment! Patricia Neal acts like she's Bette Davis in WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? The pace is deadly slow--even for a 70s movie--and the Ron Howard character spends scene after scene just wandering through the town. Staring at a house. Wandering some more. Just awful.

NOTHING happens the first hour. And the Bobby Darin character suddenly is "gone" and the end is too little too late.

Skip it.

Runaway, Video viewer, runaway!
