It's funny about ARITHMETIC, isn't it. And nostalgia isn't what it used to be, it's true.
I just wish one of these movies would do for me today what HELEN OF TROY did for me then! Explaining what that was that it did is too difficult for the average MOPOLIAN to get their head around. I just know that Angelina Jolie does not do for me what Rossana Podesta did for me. Or even Jacques Sernas. There has been too much muddy water under the bridge since then. Brigitte Bardot was also in that movie. I remember when I saw the trailer for THE NIGHT HEAVEN FELL at the Jefferson Theater about this same time. You could see Bardot's uncovered BUTT! Now that was unanticipated in Beaumont, Texas at that time in that place, I assure you. And it only cost 35 cents. And the Hershey bar was a nickel.
