Dave writes about the film "The Woman Chaser":
<< Yet, to me, "The Woman Chaser" captures his world
view the most accurately.
(in black and white, no less) I loved it. Apparently,
Betsy Willeford agrees
with me. But I guess we're in the heavy minority. But
there's gotta be
something good about a movie that some people love, and
others hate ... >>
I don't think you're in a heavy minority, maybe no minority
at all. In my mind, "The Woman Chaser" is by far the most
faithful of the three film adaptations of Willeford's work.
The film in fact uses quite a bit of dialogue verbatim from
the novel. The weird unnameable tone feels about right too.
Incidentally, in Portland, Oregon, it was well reviewed in
the daily paper and the alternative weekly, and it ended up
playing for three weeks, one week each in three different
theaters. Doug
