Review of Harper

Harper (1966)
2/10
Boring!!!
13 July 2019
Seems like this thing has gone on for about 3 days now. What a convoluted, meandering bore it is! Two stars: one because I get to look at Paul Newman, and another because I get to look at the California coastline (somewhat briefly).

Huge box-office hit, apparently. I actually DO remember the '60s, and people were perennially stoned, which one would have to be to sit through this and find it enjoyable. Stoned people are easily entertained; everything is amusing, and this must explain the popularity of Harper in 1966.

Every character in this thing is unlikable, so it's impossible to invest in the outcome. Basically, who cares about any of it? Did I say boring? Yes, boring is what it is. Even if it does have Paul Newman.
