"Go ahead. Touch the janitor's genitals."
This is Dan Aykroyd's very first film. He plays a blind man in this romantic comedy from the 70s. Now is it worth digging this one out for curiosity's sake? No, not really.
The whole thing is really boring and awkward. Nothing really happens. A girl falls in love with a blind man but because her father doesn't approve they have a trip to Niagara Falls and have some goofy road movie adventures which don't amount to much. It's a lot of her forgetting he is blind and accidentally leaving him somwhere.
Acting, editing and pacing are awkward and uneven and the jokes fall flat.
Also what's up with this film and KFC?
really just a silly pointless little movie. dan aykroyd’s skin is very smooth and young in it
bizarre movie
Kind of really great tho
This is a calming movie that should be shown in mental hospitals
The most beautiful phrase in the English language is “touch the janitor’s genitals.”
Watched this for my Dan Aykroyd podcast The Best Legs in Chicago. You can listen to it here or where ever you find your podcasts:

I think the reason I like this more than others is it reminds me greatly of a 1930’s movie. Chuck on a black and white filter, add a score, better editing, remove some bits, and you got yourself a 30’s romcom.
What a weird movie, and not in a good way. Lots of KFC product placement, so much so that the entire movie almost doubles as a commercial for the chicken restaurant franchise. At one point, Colonel Sanders appears as a man who is asked for directions.
