I found this movie to be very odd, and VERY hard to follow. While I agree Julie Christie is indeed beautiful, it is not enough to "save" this film which I found to be quite boring. I think the people in it spend a bit to much time trying to be "cool". The film takes itself too seriously and scatter-brained character of Ms. Christie doesn't help. I get the feeling that the director thought with beauty of Julie Christie who needs a storyline. Sorry, but wrong. The only "plus" for me were the 60's clothes and scenes of my hometown area of San Francisco. Other than that, I think I'll give this film the snooze of the month award.
August 4, 2008I had seen this movie at least 20 years ago and I always wanted to see it again from a more mature viewpoint. The acting is excellent. Shirley Knight especially. This time around I wasn't as sympathetic towards the Julie Christie character, victim yes but also enabler. George C Scott amazing. The film quality is excellent. Julie Christie looks stunningly beautiful. Flawless skin. In hindsight we mock some of the crazy 60's fashions but seeing the clothes and hairstyles on Julie they actually work!
June 2, 2008maybe a classic to some but definately an artifact of its time. a movie for me that is interesting,pretentious and boring at the same time. i suggest you rent it first because if you don't like it,you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about.

An excellent 60's period piece. The entire cast is excellent and especially the joyous and wonderful Julie Christie. A film to relish over and over again.

Warner Bros never cease to thrill me much of the time with classic film releases to DVD. I hope they continue unveiling classics like this from their endless vaults. Warner Bros does another great job using cover art work from the original film release artwork used, and it looks great! I also love it when you get to see in classic films like Petulia the original Warner Bros film logos that opened the film when they were first released... sometimes this is where Warner Bros fails to bring back the magic when they use their newer fresher logos on films that never were released with these logos to begin with. Still Petulia is a classic and many should take a chance and see this classic for what it is. Richard Lester's direction and Nicholas Roeg's cinematography is a great escape to view late 1960's San Francisco!
