The scenes with the life-size, blank-faced dummy are exactly as unsettling as they sound, and even though the film doesn't have much more to offer than that, it's certainly an inescapable image. The film also features a fun segment that points out the perils of handcuffing yourself to a criminal!
In repose, Lily Tomlin looks like a wistful pony; when she grins, her equine gums and long, drawn face suggest a friendly, goofy horse.

However, the appeal is lost too fast, the script is lame and turns the already-irritating leads and side characters into head-slapping caricatures (the "I'm not going back to the hospital" speech alone ruins Carney's character), and I lost pretty much all interest by the halfway mark. Lily Tomlin is an awful sidekick- I get what the film is going for and some of her lines reveal fragments of decent ideas for how to repurpose the silly half of buddy-cop naivete into the cruelty of the noir milieu- but it's ultimately all for naught, and even when it does kinda work in the last act, the buildup from before still rings hollow. It might be cute for Carney to use ageism at the end to best the baddies in another, more definitively comedic exercise, but what an anticlimax- from the anti-twist of the culprits to the fizzle of action amidst the overexplanation.
Haven’t seen it too but I noticed it does come with Love-Tails of Morocco, which I don’t remember being a masterpiece but is still a very enjoyable, bordering on demented short featuring a slew of dogs doing people things like adultery, smoking, and murder!domino harvey wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 6:24 pm Possessed I haven’t seen but that’s the one that Zizek opens Pervert’s Guide to Cinema with
Almost no one alive has seen it except for some lucky people at Cinecon several years ago. It has otherwise remained entirely unseen for about 90 years because the rights to the play on which it was based were tied up in a legal mess that has now, I guess, been resolved.therewillbeblus wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 5:54 pm It’s A Wise Child looks like a pre-code screwball that has very few LB logs.. anyone seen it?

I think we’ve got some URL shortener on the site causing this. I embedded the links in your original post and they should work now.Stefan Andersson wrote: Thanks for pointing this out!
I tried updating the links in my original post and got the same result as you did. Then I tried posting the link to the main program page and got the same result again.

I had been seeking this out in a free format after reading this post in the M. Emmet Walsh tribute thread, and I finally saw it thanks to my local library system. Very entertaining, well-crafted trash from James B. Harris. Of the three films of his that I've seen, it is by far the best (haven't seen The Bedford Incident or Boiling Point). Such a fun cast, and they all deliver. Seeing a full-frontal M. Emmet Walsh after humping Susan Tyrrell is something you can't unsee. Perhaps Harris felt the need to give us some funny medicine after showing so much gratuitous female nudity, including a super sexy Kay Lenz (who is also very good in her role).Aunt Peg wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2024 7:30 am Another of his most memorable performances was in the little seen Fast-Walking (1982) directed by James B. Harris. He lets it all hang-out - literary!
Really wish Warners would up-grade this to Blu Ray.
