Isn't It Shocking? (1973 TV Movie)
5/10
A 1970's Gem if You Like Dark Comedy
20 November 2010
I remember "Isn't It Shocking?" from way back in the 70's when TV movies were bad.

How often are you going to see Ruth Gordon, Louise Lasser, and Alan Alda in the same movie? They are 3 of my favorite actors. Ruth Gordon - amazing in anything and the movie is worth watching just to see her.

Louis Lasser flinging birdseed always makes me laugh. It's a dark comedy (not a good drama).

Alan Alda - well he's good in everything -right?

I'm trying to get a copy but not easy.

The 1970's were bad bad bad for movies but the made-for-TV genre had a feel about them (yes, "They Only Kill Their Masters" is a perfect example), and every once in a while they are good for bowl of popcorn on a snowy night.

If you like this type of movie "Isn't It Shocking?" is worth watching just for the few moments of the 3 actors mentioned.
