Dies und das:

It was rumored that Wes Stern passed on the role of Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate (1967) because the script for this movie was floating around Hollywood. It was in development for two years, and by time it was released The Graduate was a smash hit.

Soundtrack:

Sweet Love In The Beginning

Stiff: as in lifeless

Saw this with my mom back when it was released: mom liked coming-of-age or these rite-of-passage flicks, & I'd been seeing Ms. Bisset's name in the papers lately (Bullitt).

Maybe back then I could imagine myself in these sticky situations, but this was on TV some time in the past year & barely tolerable. I guess most good movies have occasional deviations from their main point or plot, but this didn't, & the actors couldn't've been more stiff if they'd been embalmed. & Seems like Ms. Bisset's turned in the heart-of-gold hooker number more than once. She is a fox & a half, tho.

Don't remember what mom thought of this; but no matter, we did see more than enough "classics" (Last Summer, Alice Doesn't Live Here) to nullify the occasional turkey. This movie had to've been made under the delusion that Wes Stern was going to be the next Ben Gazzara or John Cassavetes: The First Time turned out to be more or less his last time. He was as ubiquitous as the county fair @Area 51.
