Subject: BS: O Lucky Man!--just a great film!!!!
It's from 1974 or thereabouts--but no matter, it gets five stars from me!!! I do wish it was brand new and in theaters now because lots of people should see it here and especially now.

Malcolm McDowell and Ralph Richardson must be seen to be believed. As an indictment of modern life in a way that held me all the way, this is simply a wondrous collage of happenings to this young idealist that ought to teach him more real lessons about himself than ever seem to get through his huge desire for monetary successes.

Folks, rent it if you can. If not, get it from Netflix like I did tonight! Don't turn it off after the first 40 minutes or so. It is a long film, but stay with it. Like the young fellow in the film, it will take the viewer a while to see the brilliance of it.

A wonder! And please come back to this thread and give us your opinion.
