Mort & Spunky the awesome cat from Detroit
Just happened to stumble across this film, followed by "More Tales of the
City", on Bravo last week. I'd been under the impression that it was another
ridiculous piece of rubbish about people shagging and snorting their brains
out. Instead it was a fantastically fun time with a house filled with
interesting and neat people (except Norman). Yes some do sleep around and
some use drugs a bit, but that's just a part of the story.
The real story here is a familiar one of relationships. While I'd agree that
casting went a little over-board in recruiting "pretty people", it's an
extraordinarily well done job of telling that story and each actor does a
super job with his/her role, especially mother-hen Olympia
Dukakis.
Shame on PBS for caving into the pressures of conservatives, postponing the
sequels. I'll certainly add Showtime to my cable for next year's
installment.
