Flannel Pajamas


A review made this movie sound intriguing and erotic.
I should take responsibility for my own interest in the erotic, but still, I want it to be an ingredient, balanced with other ingredients. It can be like a too-sweet or too-salty dish, where the maker has calculated that the intrinsic, addictive appeal of the sugar or salt will win out. Beyond that the movie has a bitter flavor, again, a bitterness not blended in enough with other flavors. On the other hand, it is a respectable attempt to tell a story, and it did keep me interested. The grittiness of its realism was unusual.
