![]() ![]() Both are quite attractive and capable actresses, and Miss Duke is particularly effective in her first musical number. I don't understand how Patty Duke and Barbara Parkins got themselves into this movie. Mark Twain once explained why women were such poor cussers: They know the words, but not the music. There is also a lot of fairly mild vulgar language, shoveled into the script so ineptly that we can tell the scriptwriters (two women) must not swear much. That this cliché should be thought still serviceable in 1967 is a sad commentary. ![]() ![]() Miss Duke gulps and blinks her eyes and the handsome young man is cool and suave, and as she leaves she drops her purse.īoth of them stoop to pick up the contents, and as their eyes meet from a distance of six inches she says she's afraid she has made a bad impression and he says he's enchanted, or something. Having preserved an example of vulgarity, we should also preserve a classic soap-opera cliché. Side by side with this exhibit should go the one in which Neely O'Hara ( Patty Duke) meets the handsome young man in the lawyer's office. The scene in which Sharon Tate does her bust exercises, and most particularly the dialog at the end of that scene, should be preserved in permanent form so future historians can see that Hollywood was not only capable of vulgarity, but was also capable of the most offensive and appalling vulgarity ever thrown up by any civilization. Some moments persist in the memory, however. ![]()
