I hate it when things don’t hold up over time! This movie made me so afraid as a teenager and I was so excited to see that they were playing it at the outdoor movie theater in town. I went so far as to make it a date movie and dragged my husband to see it. Granted it’s difficult for movies to hold up under his constant ridicule but seriously it was just way way too dated! And Audrey Hepburn could not pull off those pants – skinny asses should stay away from loose, high waisted pants. Alan Arkin, however, was/is totally rad and his whole storyline is still pretty creepy (a dead lady encased in plastic is always a good visual) so it definitely wasn’t a waste of time but I’m still pretty sure that identifying with the protagonist is an important part of your basic storyline and Audrey was the protagonist. Disappointing for me but still a good date movie because everyone enjoys camp.
