This is the kind of movie that can’t be made anymore. If they tried to make it now it would either be too wacky or so low-budget it would look like shit. And it would probably be condescending. The “Milkman” song at the Tiki Lounge is one of the sublime moments of cinema. Anyone who doesn’t like this movie has no heart.
