I love "Ms. Can't Get Enough"'s face at the end, when she finally gains some self-awareness and probably thinks, "Fuck, I don't wanna be Barbara Jean".
Notice how cynical "The Queen of Nashville" (Henry Gibson's wife) she is... "Except for the Kennedy boys, but they were different".
I was thinking a lot about the music in Robert Altman's mosaic films, following the death of Annie Ross. I'm not a healthy decider so I tend to steer clear - I like 'Dog Day Afternoon' as much as 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'.
'To Hell With Love' - Annie Ross & The Low Note Quintet
I like "Dog Day Afternoon", but "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" is in my Top 5 all-time.... John Cassavetes was going to direct it, but he insisted on Seymour Cassell (Jack Nicholson was perfect for the part, and James Caan couldn't do it because of his cocaine problem). I can't even imagine how he'd do, but then again, he did do "A Child is Waiting", but that Kramer fired him, and THEN edited the movie, but its still a great one, but it was the last time he worked in the studio system.
