Viewing Notes
Gene Wilder is a force but I really do not like his character here. Margot Kidder, however, is radiant and I feel the most for her as Quackser treats her like shit most of the time. This is totally the kind of movie I’d expect to see at Chicago Film Society. Wonder if no 35mm exist for it.
(the transfer on Prime isn’t very good so it def hasn’t been restored in recent years)
