Great comedy with vibrant Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman and Joan Collins

This satiric look at 50s life in Putnam's Landing, NY is hilarious. A rocket trip to outer space, a reenactment of the Puritan Landings, Joan Collins trying to seduce Paul Newman, and you know he wantes Joan at times, many times. Joanne Woodward thowing TV Dinners into her wall oven for her children who are hollering all the time in front of a Sylvania TV with that awful white glow around it. On it all goes, and it is marvellous fun.

But, it stabs at the 50s and its falsehoods with abandon; it is way ahead of its time and fabulous.

Get this film and laugh and wonder at the surreal ways peole lived in the 50s with war sacres and nuclear weapo9nry talked abpout every day of the week, and Eisenhower and Nixon..I was there and this is wonderfully accurate. The title alone tells agreat deal..rally round the flag..there isn't a flag big enough to cover the lies we were told then, like now! July 14, 2007

Excellent movie, stupid distributers

Distributers and Hollywood moguls take note, you could make a lot of money simply by making this movie available on DVD. This is an excellent sex comedy starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Joan Collins, Dwayne Hickman, Tuesday Weld and a lot of other really fine actors. Max Schulman was a genius at making us believe the unbelievable in his books and this movie carries on that wonderful trait. Please, dummies, make this available. Please? I found this for sale on DVDR on ioffer.com. If the idiots won't release it for commercial sale, then this is obviously the only way to get it. March 1, 2007
