Such Good Friends
A somewhat rare Otto vehicle from ’71 with Dyan Cannon in the lead. Things to look for: A nearly naked and dancing Burgess Meredith (oh the humanity); Dyan Cannon was just plain hot back then; some surreal and drug induced scenes that kinda take you by surprise; crazy 70s fashion and decor… Starring Jennifer O’Neill, who also filmed in Summer of ’42. Julie Messinger is an intense woman who hides her wild emotions and desires under her conventional facade. Her husband Richard checks into the hospital for a simple mole removal that goes seriously wrong.
