Review for GIRL’S TOWN
SEE Harold Lloyd Jr
fall from a great height – and die! (There must have been an in-joke there!).
SEE Paul Anka sing Ave Maria to Mamie Van Doren and make her cry. (The effect on the viewer may be somewhat different). SEE the Platters sing – but without lead singer Tony Williams. A stand-in mimes his vocals just off camera or with his face hidden by less than subtle camera work. (What was the real story there?). SEE Mel Torme as one of the oldest film teenagers in the business get punched out by genuine teen Paul Anka. SEE the offspring of Charlie Chaplin, Robert Mitchum and Bing Crosby in small roles to illustrate why their film careers sank without trace. In the annals of bad film making, what more could you ask for?
