Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
The disillusionism-ridden post-Vietnam/Watergate era of the mid-1970s may not be fondly remembered by many people - oh, mainly recreational-drug connoisseurs and individuals who tell me that, yes, there actually were real job positions open in Cleveland back then (probably just smuggling and selling recreational drugs, though).
But the atmosphere of questioning cynicism did inspire a brief, shining period of grownup-level cinema (before the advent of STAR WARS and the summer-blockbuster syndrome came along and returned mainstream movies to the comic-book-level media they've pretty much occupied since). The legendary films that came out of that fluke period include household names such as M*A*S*H, CHINATOWN, KLUTE, DOG DAY AFTERNOON, MEAN STREETS and THE GODFATHER...and lesser-known-but-equal productions
such as MARJOE.
