Viewing Notes

CCFF Day 3, Film 3: Based on the opinions from the premiere at SXSW I was expecting something more slight than this. Glad that wasn’t the case. Sure, if you’re familiar with Dick Miller and his career this probably isn’t going to provide much new insight. However, this is a very sweet tribute to the legend and quite entertaining with plenty of colleagues that have worked with him over the years, often the most important like Corman and Dante among others.

It was really great to have Dick Miller and his wife Lainie at the screening. Such a wonderful couple still full of life. Terrific Q&A as well.
