I loved the Nichols and May records, and many other great comedy records, which is how I got to know many of the people who also made it big on screen. But something happened when certain movies came out - LUV, A NEW LEAF, and others - but not all - in the late-60s, mid-70s, with some of my favorite people in them, just didn't call to me. Or I saw a couple of them and wasn't impressed. And yet others in the same period did, and still stand out as favorites. There's no real logic to it.
In fact, I never saw the LUV movie for decades - until the DVD had been out for a while and I finally bought it. Oy. I think I might have enjoyed one or two moments in it, but they're forgotten now. And yet I'd loved the play, from listening to the complete recording on Columbia and "seeing" it all in my head, to seeing it on tour with Dorothy Loudon, etc. But when some of these movies came out, "something" (cue spooky music) told me to not bother. And it was probably right in most cases.
