Good Times, Wonderful Times

1966 · 70 min · ★ 5.1 · Documentary, Drama, War

Lionel Rogosin's plea for humanity and against war and fascism. For two years, Rogosin traveled to twelve countries to collect footage of war atrocities from their archives. He interspersed these harrowing images with scenes of a London cocktail party's mundane chatter. Good Times, Wonderful Times was released in 1964 at the height of the Vietnam War, and became one of the great anti-war films of the era.

Movie
Oysters Are in Season feautures the improvised humor of Swede Sorenson, Dean Preece and Molly Parkin as they play out sharply satiric situations. Utter foolishness abounds in short skits that range from an employment interview with an applicant whose previous experience has left him physically uncontrollable, and an unsuspecting golfer who arrives for a first lesson, to scenes of mayhem with a hammock and a chinese lantern masquerading as an artificial kidney.
