Trivia:

The movie's poster carried the tagline, "It's Pure Gould" underneath a drawing of naked Elliott Gould trapped in a Coca-Cola bottle, his hands crossed over his genitals, with the title "move" and the subheading "has a lot to give" in lower case letters at the right hand top of the poster, near the neck of the bottle. more

E. Gould working!, 29 July 2004
4/10
Author: shepardjessica from sparks, nevada

This little-known 1970 film (the year Gould cranked out about six) actually has some interesting social comments to make, but NOBODY ever saw this flick. I saw when it was released, mainly because of the lovely and talented Paula Prentiss, and Gould I liked from B&C&T&A and M.A.S.H. (same year) and the strangely beautiful Genevieve Waite was in it. Gould basically plays a plodding scumbag who doesn't deserve the life he has (which he is clueless about), but he's really too old (even then) to be trying to find himself in that turbulent time period.

A 4 out of 10. Best performance = Paula Prentiss (wonderful). This is better than I LOVE MY WIFE (another unknown Elliott movie from that year), but it doesn't follow through with the Gould angst of his character. 1970 was a great year for films (especially the unknown ones), but this condescending and fake-brooding, but if you're interested in that time period (especially film wise), check it out for curiosity's sake.
