I usually judge movies by how long I remember them, and here I am the next day after seeing "Breezy" writing a comment. I thought the movie really evoked a mood of the early '70's that I remember. That kind of "anything goes" sort of ambiance that got a lot of people into trouble. I thought LA was beautifully shot, and after seeing a lot of Eastwoods' movies the film showed a lot of his style, which has stayed with him. I watched the movie really to see William Holden, who has always been kind of a mystery to me, but who commanded the screen in every shot. Kay Lenz had a kind of experienced innocence I had not seen in a while. Again, a trusting nature that usually leads to big trouble. A great nostalgia piece, but with subtlety and intelligence. Kind of rare to see a "subtle" film nowadays.
