John and Mary (1969)
7/10
A Rare New York Love Story!
1 May 2013
Mia Farrow still had the Vidal Sassoon hairstyle from the Rosemary's Baby in this film production. She played Mary, a single New Yorker who lived in Turtle Bay section of New York City. She meets John played by Dustin Hoffman. They have one night together after meeting in a New York singles bar. When they wake up the next morning, they have a lot to learn about each other. Neither John nor Mary are baggage free. The New York City locations add to the film's scenic appeal. The performances from Farrow and Hoffman are believable and genuine. The relationship between these two characters are realistic and believable. Too bad, we didn't see more of Olympia Dukakis, Marian Mercer, Tyne Daly, and Alix Elias in the film. This film is a character study of an unlikely couple.
