Cinderella Liberty 07/24/18

A real peach of a ’70s New Hollywood picture, Mark Rydell and Darryl Ponicsan’s story of a sailor on extended leave is sentimental neorealism — a tough street story, but with the pessimism removed. Poolroom hustler Marsha Mason and sailor-adrift James Caan are a beautiful couple in the making — although the whole world seems against them. Co-Starring Eli Wallach and Kirk Calloway; photographed by Vilmos Zsigmond. On Blu-ray from Twilight Time.
