"Blume In Love": Ah, those wacky 70's......

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I remember seeing this in '73 when it was released. If you have forgotten the 70's this is a perfect refresher. George Segal sports a tremendously bushy head of hair and drives a BMW 1600 while his (ex)wife, Susan Anspach has the appropriate hair and drives a Super Beetle convertible. Enter George's infidelity with this black secretary and we now have an angry wife filled with scorn with divorce on her agenda.
After the divorce she takes up with a newly minted Kris Kristofferson who is a Tennessee hippy fresh on the San Francisco scene. Oh yes, he drives a beat up VW bus. (Are we nostalgic yet?) Segal starts having a loveless affair with Marsha Mason yet never shakes his love for Anspach. Segal narrates his love and frustrations from the beauty of St Mark's Square throughout the movie while doing whatever possible to get back in favor of Anspach.
This film grandly illustrates the 70's with it's free love, swinging couples, hippies talking crazy, faux hippness, and the uncomfortable mixing of hippies and suits.
This wasn't a particularly good movie but serves mostly as a "how things used to be" document.
