John and Mary (1969)

Synopsis: John and Mary go to bed on the same night they meet each other at a bar. The next day they stay together getting to know each other. They develop feelings for each other.

Appraisal: Not a good film, but I suppose it is representative of a certain moment in history when values were changing (or, more likely, when movies began incorporating social changes which had happened earlier into the mainstream aesthetics). I thought the writing was uninspired - his sudden rejection of her seems contrived and coming out of nowhere, for instance.

Rating: 36
