Review of Wanda Nevada

Wanda Nevada (1979)
I was 15 when I first saw it... *spoilers*? not sure, so just to be safe...

And I loved it! It's very hammy as the previous poster noted, but that is part of its simple charm. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it - and yes, the scenery is gorgeous! I can agree to one extent about the age difference, but having been a young gal who always had crushes on older fellows, I don't see anything seriously wrong with this one. I see nothing serious happening in it, just hints and in 1979 that was just "kinda" creepy.

I saw this before there was much internet and surely no IMDb -- so finding Henry Fonda's name in the credits (Yep, used to read those) was quite the thrill! Luckily it was on cable and I got to watch again and watch Hank more closely - what a gem.

Sweet movie, simple fun, no big heavy stuff to deal with. I also enjoyed the time it was set in. :)
