Title: Very 1963
Review: The past is inaccessible to us. It cannot be relived. A very few films are able to catch the feel of a time lost to us. This is one of them. It was made in the late '70's about the early '60's. The music helps drive the effect home that we are glimpsing the era as no early "60's style film could have shown us. Its a bittersweet romp about a Brooklyn gang-kind of a Junior Achievers Mafia. Nice little things like how Kennedy's assasination is experienced and the Bob Dylan "cameo" show the creators knew of what they spoke. The Ducky Boys final episode is masterfully spooky and still gives me chills. Too bad Ken Wahl pretty much disappeared after reaching the top in Wiseguy. If you lived in the '60's I think you will enjoy this nostalgic film.
