No a bad film. Like Mickey Rourke. When first released, The Pope of Greenwich Village was promoted as if it were a comedy. The title sounds like a comedy. I saw the movie after a disastrous day at work, thinking, "I need to see a funny film tonight." Was I ever surprised! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PULP (1972): A pulp fiction novelist (Michael Caine) fights to survive an assignment to ghost write a controversial star's memoirs. Mickey Rooney plays Preston Gilbert, the gangster film actor with real life mob ties. Noir goddess Lizabeth Scott plays his flirtatious ex-wife. Dir. Mike Hodges If you really dug Get Carter you'll hate this Some appropriate review Quotes from IMDb: "An OK idea falls flat long before end" "Limp..." "A neat idea that loses steam after a while...and then it just drags." "Somewhat inept" "Not bad but somewhat disappointing" "Off-the-wall misfire" "What went wrong?" "Three-Quarters Baked" Yeah, I caught PULP once a long time ago, solely because of Michael Caine, certainly not for Mickey Rooney, but yes it was a huge disappointment. I like to catch movies I had never seen before but this is one film that I wish I had remained ignorant of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie_G Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I think Susan Miller and her horoscopes got more air time. I'd love to see neo-noir Friday become a permanent thing, but I don't do FB or Twitter. It's odd that they never suggest the TCM message board community for posting.
