I read some of the Fancy Nancy stories. (The author Jane O'Connor also wrote a mystery story.) The author is as nice as her books.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie would have been much better if the man had died in the end. Instead the lesbian character dies and the other woman survives to become a successful heterosexual. Typical sad ending. To see a better movie check out Desert Hearts (1985) instead.

Spellbinding movie
26 May 2021
Two of the best looking and most talented performers together: Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. The Salvador Dali dream sequence is startling. Some humorous lines "Women make the best doctors until they fall in love. Then they make the best patients." Great film.
Barbarella

Cool Campy Nonsense
29 March 2021
This movie is so peculiar. Jane Fonda plays a sexy sci fi Barbarella, who crash lands on a strange planet She meets a man (Ugo Tagnazzi, later in La Cage aux Folles 1980) who repairs her ship. She meets a blind angel, a "one eyed wench" and others. The music soundtrack is so silly too. Great fun.
The Hunger

The Vampire Story

This movie is beautiful to look at, and has an appealing cast. Catherine Deneuve est tres belle. But this film is glossy trash and has a controversial lesbian love scene, which makes it watchable. David Bowie is also in this movie.

Mae's Swan Song
26 March 2021
Mae West makes this hilariously awful film. At least it has a mixed bag of actors that rivals the odd casts of a John Waters film like Crybaby. We have Rhona Barrett, Regis Philbin, Ringo Starr, Tony Curtis, etc. As the crazy quilt cast.
Female on the Beach

Joan the Widow
25 March 2021
Joan Crawford plays a widow whose husband left her a beach house. Jeff Chandler plays a con artist who woos the widow. The dialogue is so trashy, which makes this unintentionally funny. "I have a nasty imagination!" She says at one point.
Patsy Feels Old
25 March 2021
Under anesthesia in a hospital in London, Patsy and Edina imagine that famous actors are the "dream" people. They are like Helena Bonham Carter as Saffron, Mandy Rice Davies as Patsy (instead of Joanna Lumley) etc. Wonderful, sweetie darling!

This movie has the main attraction of being a showcase for many popular performers. Such as The Dave Clark Five, The Animals, Astrid Gilberto, and Mary Ann Mobley.
Otherwise it is basically a typical 1960s comedy with minor sexual overtones. It is family friendly.
