Another film that had been hiding away in the cupboard. Is this Marty's tribute to Roger Corman? For him, it's unusual in the number of gay characters portrayed; Dick Miller is in it; the live body covered in plaster is a tribute to A Bucket of Blood; the setting is Bohemian New York (Soho)?
It's certainly nutty enough to be a Roger Corman. Written by Joseph Minion.
Griffin Dunne makes a date with Rosanna Arquette and things go downhill from there on. Is it about male-female relationships? Could be.
With Verna Bloom, Linda Fiorentino, John Heard, Teri Garr, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, Catherine O'Hara. Photographed by Michael Ballhaus (with Florian assisting, of course), edited by Thelma Schoonmaker with her customary and arbitrary disregard for film speeds, sound re-recording by the ever-present Dick Vorisek.
I love Marty's fast track-ins. And that swirling shot under the end credits is quite something. Nice and short, too.
