Good film


The synopsis gives a clue to it being about clones, and well...

SPOILERS

...it is. The first 30 minutes dragged a bit, however the film picked up it's pace once Joanna met Bobby. They were fun to watch. The husband really did not care for his wife. My goodness.

The acting in all in all was good. And the ending was not really surprising, but it still made for unsettling viewing.

It's a good film, but a one-time watch for me.

I enjoyed it when I watched it a few years back.

It's a shame that the rights are locked up by a medical company who won't license it out. It's never got a HD home media release which is unfortunate.

Medical company ? That's strange.

Yeah it's so random and BMS are loaded so are in no rush or need to add a few thousand bucks to their bank accounts from licensing out a few 1970s movies on blu-ray. From what I've heard they're asking for ridiculous sums for the rights to the movie (if I recall correctly, they're looking for someone to buy their entire filmography outright in one big deal... at a cost that far exceeds any possibility for a buyer to make a profit).

The film has not received a Blu-ray release, and remains under the ownership of pharmaceutical conglomerate Bristol Myers Squibb, who were stakeholders in its production company, Palomar Pictures, which went defunct after the film's release. Several other Palomar-produced films, including The Heartbreak Kid (1972) and Sleuth (also 1972), are also owned by the company.


BMS is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and consistently ranks on the Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations. For fiscal 2022, it had a total revenue of $46.2 billion.

It's not as if they're broke ffs! BMS are greedy bastards.

You might wanna put the spoiler warning before you mention clones.

Got it.

… but you’re just going to leave the spoiler up there before the warning anyway?

reply

I actually did put a spoiler warning, as you can see, just not in the title. I do it all the time. If you're not happy with it, then that's too bad.

The spoiler warning doesn’t need to be in the title, it just needs to be before the spoiler.
