6/10
Impressive acting by Steiger and Ryan
13 November 2015
I would give this hard to find movie an 8 except for the 70's dating of the movie. I've only seen this movie 1 1/2 times. I caught the end half of the movie decades ago on AMC when they didn't have commercials. I still remember the mayo scene for the acting. It was so awesome. From that time on I watched for the movie to come on again, and finally I saw the whole picture so now I understand the plot better and was even more impressed. Since Turner Classic Movies came on TV and Online I have requested they run the movie. A few times I saw a film short on the making of Lolly Madonna (xxx), but no movie. For film buffs, this is a classic even with it's 70's film treatment, not my favorite film year. I have the movie on a perpetual list of ones to auto record hoping one day it will show again. This movie got me interested in Ryan and Steiger movies and since TCM I usually watch that channel 90% of time so I have come to really appreciate their catalog of movies. I think perhaps the name with a triple X tacked on end is reason why movie is not shown or well known. Had I see the listing for it I would not have even watched the movie the first time. And early on the internet searching for the whole name is liable to give one an education of porn on the internet. It should use it's less known name, the Lolly Madonna War.
