By the way, Mike. Its a darn good thing this thread morphed from its origin. That was one knuckleheaded thread. I think you're due for a visit to the diner tomorrow night for a beating. Its been long overdue
I hope people don't get their hopes up too much. After all, the movie never made it to theaters; straight to DVD. The cinematography is rather good as is some of the acting. I never got past one screening to become addicted as Tommy has. Maybe I'll put it on later today.
The scenes at Rolling Green look very good (green paint and all). But the club in the book was meant to be more of an elite club, which RGGC was at one time--Delaware County Blue Blood Quakers. With some exceptions, it is a far cry from that. I welcome diversity but in the case of RGGC, a price was paid for membership practices in difficult times during the 1970s and 1980s. This has led to some issues that detract from the maginificent golf course.
Tommy, I'll be interested to hearing your thoughts after a first-hand account, although if I join you there later this year it will be as a guest, just like you.
Was Ellen Muth really nekked? I don't remember that scene. I'll have to get the progressive scan DVD going and ff to that scene. She was attractive as I recall.
Speaking of movie credits, I was in a movie filmed on Penn's campus in 1975 or 1976, I think and released in 1977. It was called Nasty Habits with: Glenda Jackson, Melina Mercouri, Geraldine Page, Sandy Dennis, Anne Meara, Jerry Stiller, Eli Wallach and Rip Torn. It was influenced by Watergate and the Impeachment of Nixon taking place in a nunnery in Philadelphia. They filmed me walking down a lane through campus for about 10-15 seconds. I had a beard and wore an orange jacket if anybody can find the movie out there.
Larry Fine and Heddy LaMarr were relations. I guess that's where I got my acting skills and looks (from Heddy not Larry)
