Negative Positive
Title: This film is boring and insipid!
Review: Maybe I'm not as articulate as the usual film critic, or self-indulgent for that matter, but after viewing 'Round Midnight I thought it proper to tell the persons in the jazz populace not watch the film! That is,unless you want to over-serenaded with ballads and blues oriented chord progressions! Francis' obsession with Dale Turner is what one might call "icky". Dale Turner himself, is a garbling fool whose speech patterns simply annoy the viewer. The friendship that the Parisian and the ailing be-bop musician form is anything but inspiring. It is riddled with montages and various rescue missions. That is, Francis coming to the aid of Dale, drunk in the alley, thrown in the police wagon, captured at the hospital. Francis, get a life. Oh well, jazzers send me your hate mail, tell me how I don't understand the deep deep beauty and ambience of the film-please, I'm waiting!
