Great movie that’s also something of a big what-if. What if the series had kept going in this (relatively) more grounded direction rather the direction taken with GOLDFINGER and all the films that tried to top it. We would have had a much different sort of film series. Also, CASINO ROYALE looks like an attempt to get back to this specific place.
PS This was an unsaved draft from who knows when? I guess I never published it. Oh well. Still makes sense.
The strange story of a nice Jewish girl in the early 1960s who meets a working class time traveler from the 1980s whose amazing hair and MTV-influenced dance moves bewitch the Catskills resort where she's vacationing with her father, a famous New York homicide detective, and mother, who will later become an easily offended Connecticut socialite with a fondness for martinis. By the end, everyone is so enamored of him that they don't even notice when he puts on a 45 and the synth-laden sounds of late '80s adult contemporary pop come piping out of the speakers.
