Still More 70s Movies 3

I'll be adding to this as I go along.



Ah, Roman Polanski, the director guaranteed to trigger people on the internet.  I make no assumptions about your moral leanings, but you might find it gratifying to know that he only wrote this one.  Another guy directed it.

The Premise: An failed poet with a serious drinking problem takes his niece (?) out for a day at the beach.

Overall: A pitch perfect movie in every respect.  From the opening credits our failed poet is a thoroughly unlikeable, thoroughly untrustworthy man.  The film never wavers from this aspect of his character and that's its greatest strength.
