Petulia (1968) Directed by Richard Lester There's a strange distance between me and movies from the 1960s, a decade which ended when I was thirteen years old and living in a small town in the Midwest. It had one movie theater, where as children we went on Saturday mornings for a program of cartoons. The manager, a sharp-voiced old shrew, would try to quiet the crowd of 300 kids by clapping her hands and screeching "All right! All right, now!" as you would scold a noisome pack of dogs. We saw current movies there too, things we were allowed to see like "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins," or westerns.
