Duffy

I'm currently watching this - it's really groovy, baby!

I picked up a good copy of Duffy a few weeks ago ..... a good film with Yorkie at her sexiest!

I loved the scene of Fox playing "Blonde On Blonde" on the portable record player ! How hip is that ?

One of my favourites from that time, despite unfavourable reviews:



"...The results were woeful: the last word in modishness, and the final nail in the coffin of '60s pop." (Time Out)



James Coburn said of the film, "You know, Duffy was one of my favorite characters. At least that cat had something to say."



A good quality DVD would be nice, but especially nice would have been the release of that groovy soundtrack.

It's quite dreadful imho apart from John Alderton, who easily slips into the office-boy having fun role. Coburn at times sounds embarrassed by the groovy talk 'man', and York's kittenish role is about as sexy as a wet weekend in Rotherham. Cammell must have been off his face and decided that plot holes can be masked by toking green. With a tighter grip on the reins it could have been a good pic, but it's a terrible waste of a talented cast - Mason in particular is criminally underused.

Here's an advertisement from my own newspaper collection for the UK first-run release of "Duffy". Note the difference between the British version here and the US as advertised on Moviegoods and Ebay etc.

I went to see this a couple of summers back, with very low expectations having read all the duff(y) reviews, but I thought it was a lark. Not to be taken seriously at all. James Coburn sure knew how to work them hipsters. Sadly Ernie Freeman's soundtrack was never released (not even on bootleg), but there is a Lou Rawls' 45 from the flick "Down here On The Ground/I'm Satisfied" (Capitol #2252
