Lord Love a Duck | Year: 1966 Classification: Comedy Directed: - George Axelrod Look All Around You This 1966 black comedy, directed by the prominent screenwriter George Axelrod, was way ahead of its time. He satirizes American teenage culture, new concepts in modern day education, psychoanalysis and just about anything in society that requires scrutiny. There's a terrific score composed by Neal Hefti. Neal Hefti was in such demand for his unique style of comic scoring during the 60s and then he was gone. This film is like a trip back in time. They were modern times but people still used to take the time and look at something new or different. I think that's what so great about this movie. Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld as they were will remain eternal on this film. The Funniest Movie You've Never Seen If you haven't seen "Duck", you have no idea what a treat you've missed. This way-ahead-of-its-time, outrageous black comedy has held up amazingly well, despite it being made 35 years ago. Tuesday Weld (in what is arguably her best performance) plays an "Everygirl" with a somewhat mercenary edge, Roddy McDowell plays her best friend who will do anything to please her-ANYTHING. The action centers around Consolidated High School in Los Angeles, a school so "progressive" botany is called "Plant Skills"; and where the only way Tuesday Weld can be accepted by the popular girls is by joining something called the "Cashmere Sweater Club" The movie skewers the youth culture, Southern California, sexuality, teen romance, public education, so effectively and hilariously you would think it was made yesterday. My favorite line: "Honey, in this family, we don't divorce our men, we bury them". Tape was of poor quality Like the title states, the tape was of poor quality and skipped alot, making viewing difficult, and it is to much of a pain and just as costly to ship back.I do not recommend buying from this media distributer.
