[THOSE LIPS, THOSE EYES screens Saturday August 6th at 7 pm at the Cleveland Cinematheque.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
Yes, it was me. I was one of maybe 20 or so people in the audience (alongside my poor embarrassed-by-the-sex-scenes mom) who saw the locally-filmed, locally themed 35mm release THOSE LIPS, THOSE EYES in a real live movie-house during its 1980 small-scale release. Even then, I supported local filmmaking. (fat lot of good it would end up doing me), even this coming-of-age comedy-drama. And I had high hopes for the ostensible subject matter, community theater. Yes, today you couldn't pay me to go to live theater (well, yes, you could pay me, but it would have to be a lot, and I would like the option of not showing up), but back in my innocent teenage years I was most active in it.
