Review of Mannequin

Mannequin (1987)
7/10
Philly in da house!
29 April 2007
Hello, Aside from this being a decent flick, with come real good actors when they were YOUNG, it is also a great movie for those that might recall some locations in and around Philadelphia. The department store was the famous Wanamaker's Department store in center city Philly, near City Hall. It was there FOREVER and was very well known for it's big Christmas display and show in the incredible lobby. Now when you see them go down into the basement to the "club", in reality the cast and crew relocate to another old Philly suburb classic, a now vanished club called "Pulsations". They make it seem like this is located below Wanamaker's, but in reality it is about 15 to 20 miles south of Philly near the Delaware border or actually closer to Chad's Ford, PA. This was a REAL hot spot on the lines of Studio 54 (actually designed by the same designer too). It all was just as the movie depicts it, even the robot and space ship! For those of us that enjoyed going to both of these places, this movie is a chance to see them again in all their glory! Enjoy!
