A Different Story (1978)
Funny enjoyable movie
I think it unfortunate that the leading comments on this movie include the words "Clueless and appalling nonsense." I think it is a very funny movie and excellent entertainment. One has to suspend one's disbelief that a homosexual man and a lesbian woman could fall in love, have a child and live together happily ever after. But it is always wonderful to see it played out in a movie and have one's heart warmed. Is it so impossible? There are far more implausible events described in other movies. The acting is good, the script is funny. The only negative comment is that the story could well have ended when the family drives away from its initial house instead of extending on to explore whether the man retains any residual homosexuality.
Follow the Bitch (1996)
Funny clever movie
I thought this a very funny and clever movie. The title is unfortunate with the word "Bitch" when it merely means the word "Queen" in a card game. Maybe that is why the movie did not get a nation wide distribution. I enjoyed especially the dynamics between the lead male character and the lead female character who taught the former a lesson in the card game. In gaining his respect for her, he clearly was beginning to admire her and a possible future romance was indicated. While there is some adult language, there is no nudity. It is just too bad that the movie was not more widely seen and the scriptwriter given more credit. I would like to have a copy so I could see it again. Anybody know how I could get one?
