Silly
Pretty dumb comedy about neglected wife Natalie Wood becoming a kleptomaniac to get her husband’s (Ian Bannen’s) attention. She even sees a psychiatrist (a very annoying Dick Shawn) to try to be cured. Then she robs her husband’s bank and things just get sillier…This isn’t a total bomb. It’s beautifully photographed–I’ve never seen NYC look like this; the settings and costumes are incredible; Wood is just gorgeous and Bannen is handsome and actually quite amusing as her husband. But two things destroy this–the script and Shawn. Shawn is WAY over the top in his performance–he’s not funny just annoying. The script is pretty poor–there are a few good parts here and there but most of the comedy is just BAD!!! Wood and Bannen give it their all but the material just isn’t there. The rest of the cast just overacts (horribly). It leads to a “happy” ending which had me rolling my eyes.
So it’s worth seeing for Wood, Bannen, the cinematography (letter boxing is a must) and some mildly humorous material. Otherwise–forget it. I give it a 6.
Worth checking out for “Johnny” Williams score!
Alright so it’s not the greatest film in the world BUT I must recommend it anyway especially to those fans of the fabulously fun era of the late 60’s. That 60’s vibe is evident throughout the film. And I was surprised to hear “Johnny” Williams aprapos and quality score complete with Penelope theme song. Natalie Wood as Penelope is stunning and is also featured on a vocal number at the local “beatnik” club (now you don’t want to miss that do you?) Peter Falk is the detective on Penelope’s trail previewing his future role as Columbo and there are also many recognizable actors of that era in the film as well. Natalie Wood was very depressed over the lack of appreciation for this film but regained her career momentum with the success of “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” 3 years later.
