Movie poster for "Walk on the Wild Side," the 1962 film that keeps you shaking your head in wonder.
I don't know what put it into my mind, but I've had the crazy film Walk on the Wild Side (Columbia Pictures 1962) running through my head this week. This film has always astonished me. It has so much going for it: its title song is a real wow by Elmer Bernstein. It's cast includes Laurence Harvey, Jane Fonda, Barbara Stanwyck, Anne Baxter, and Capucine.
Its opening and closing credits, with the black cat, are really fabulous. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie has always left me with my mouth hanging open in surprise. How did they manage it?
