I caught "Lost in America" and it is very funny. Link to post Share on other sites

The jokes on us because one of Hollywood's worst kept secrets was that Ann Sheridan was flat chested and wore "falsies"! Link to post Share on other sites

Which would be a PG-13 now? http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/68491/The-Best-House-in-London/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It was issued an "X" on original release in the U.S. From what I can tell researching the matter, it has never been rereleased or resubmitted to the MPAA, so the NC-17 was likely not issued for the movie, but substituted for the original X by whomever wrote the TCMDb entry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing Midnight Cowboy at the Ft Bragg, NC post theater in 1970. It was the first X rated movie to be shown on military bases. Now it would barely merit a PG.

I haven't seen this one, but it's about Roller Derby. Fredric Milstein of the L.A. Times gave it a positive review, despite writing that the film "reels of sleaziness, sluttishness, squalor, stupidity, violence both pseudo and real" and mentions a "nude-except-for-skates after-practice encounter at mid-oval." Sounds like a winner to me. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's not as campy or funny, but it has its moments. Claudia Jennings was a drive-in movie star with a bit of a cult following, partly do to her dying young at age 29 in a car crash. She was in Gator Bait, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Truck Stop Women, Sisters of Death, and a quartet of dangerous driving movies, Moonshine County Express, The Great Texas Dynamite Chase, Deathsport, and Fast Company. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Milstein was basically saying you get what you expect, and the film doesn't try to be more than it is. I have to correct a typo - Milstein wrote the film "reeks of ..." not "reels of ..." The letters on my keyboard are fading and so am I. Link to post Share on other sites
