It Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy (1974)
I Went For The Laughs And I Got It!
This movie has stood out in my mind until this day. I loved this movie
because of the laughs but it is also good that we got to poke fun at a man crying rape instead of a woman. It wasa comedy and was meant for us to laugh about it.
The father, played by Paul Sorvino either gave a ride or got a ride with a much younger beautiful woman. I won't give everything away suffice to say he ended up naked hiding in the back of a woman's house, trying to get clothes from her clothes line to cover himself with, she saw him and called the police. He told the cops he was raped and of course they do not believe him. They were all snickering and laughing at him, they just thought was a pervert. It was not a serious movie, it was more of a comedy and was made for laughs and should be looked at that way. That is what most movies are for, for us to have fun. People should not be so serious about something that should be funny.
Those days we were not as politically correct as today and people was able to poke fun at things they could not get away with now. Don't know why.
I watched and love it for the laughs and you will too, if you ever get to see it. I would love to see it again myself.
Three in the Attic (1968)
Never Got This Movie Off My Mind
I was about 15 years old when I saw this movie, in 1969, I think. I never saw it again but I never got it off my mind even until today. Why? because It was very funny and it was just a hilarious story and well thought out.
It tells a story where this guy has a number of girlfriends, they all found out he was cheating and decided to teach him a lesson that he couldn't refuse. Lots of laughter and hurting sides and you would keep wanting more and more.
It would still do well even today and would fit right in with today's society. I would love to see it again. It really was ahead of it's time.
