Better than I Expected

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2020)

After reading some of the negative reviews on IMDB, I almost did not take the time to watch this one. That would have been a mistake. I suspect that a major factor in the way people see this film depends on their age and how much they know about the history of Hollywood and the TV shows and films of the 60's. There was a certain swagger in those times - and this film captured it. Younger viewers may not see the point of many of the scenes - they may not "get it". I also enjoyed the way the film played with the main characters - Rick played tough guys on the screen - but Cliff really was the tough guy. The twist at the end was great - caught me completely by surprise. But after all - the title is: "Once upon a Time ... in Hollywood".
