Such an underrated gem of a film

@K, U aren’t a KILLA ok, so that scene I think shows not only that Nicky is child-like or immature at age 47, just another support for that theme, but also perhaps to cause the viewer to wonder if he is lying to the store clerk. Does he really have a "nephew" for whom he's buying these comic books? Or are they really for him? (and he doesn't want the clerk to know that) Thereby lending more credence to his "unbelievable" or "untrustworthy" characteristic. Also, the clerk reaches for his gun hiding just behind the counter, which might be a way of demonstrating that he knows this guy might be or IS "trouble". How's that for an answer? lol

When you have John Cassavettes and Peter Falk acting in front of you, it's completely understandable why you'd want to just put on the camera and let it roll. Get out of the way. She was quite correct: they very well may have come back! These guys were the kings of unpredictable and naturalism and authenticity! Isn't Sandy Meisner in this movie? She got Sandy Frickin' Meisner in a movie! Playing a gangster, if I remember correctly. Where else are you see THAT? These stories are pretty wild, though, I won't lie.

A testament to artistic genius and technical dumbness. I wonder if they show this to movie executives so they learn to never trust the talent.

How did they ever let her near a camera again?

I worked as an extra/gopher for almost the entire 2 months. It's possible I'm seen on the bus. I remember the bus parked in a cemetery and we all were pushing and rocking to give the illusion of motion. My friend was Falk's stand in, same height and coloring. Just saw him for the first time since 1975. And I remember Victor and most of the rest of the crew. He taught me to stay and watch the credits roll.

Great actors, great film. I miss these guys, both such unique talents. Pick up the Criterion blu ray, it's the only way to see it.

It has some deep feminist satire, below a cloud of destructive machismo.

Yeah! That's what I really love about it, actually.

The way they talk about Elaine May.... "I gave him the cut sign", overriding her direction. They need to learn some respect.

@nickgodalin6487 2 жыл бұрын

These anecdotes stand on their own as a collective testament to the absurdity of Elaine May's modus operandi. The concept of "respect" is irrelevant here. If you look into the history of her other films, especially 'Ishtar' for instance, you might better comprehend the cloud of frustration that developed among the participants here.

@@nickgodalin6487 When Martin Scorsese (who I love) encourages his actors to improvise, it is called genius and he gets the credit for the result. When Elaine May does the same thing it is called disorganization and the actors get the credit. Many more examples of this kind of thing - the same behavior interpreted differently because of the gender of the director. It's a useful exercise to flip gender in your head and see if you still feel the same way about an action.

@nickgodalin6487 2 жыл бұрын

@@AimlessWander32 hmmm..... probably very true. But I wasn't thinking of improv when I responded to your comment. If Scorsese wasted as much celluloid film as Elaine May did on this project, (several million feet, as I recall), not to mention the allotted funds in a given budget, I think that the terms "disorganized" or "absurd" might also be appropriate for a description, regardless of what the crew says about him.

@@AimlessWander32 Speaking of Scorsese, ever since I first saw this film (37 times ago), I've always wondered if Joe Pesci stole his "tough guy" routine directly from Falk's performance in M&N. I mean, how uncanny is the milk/cream coffee shop incident scene 10 minutes into the beginning? Heck, both actors even LOOK similar...
