So I got home last night and there was a Goldie Hawn marathon on TCM. I thought I knew all her films but I guess B.A.F. slipped through the crack somehow.
You can definitely tell this was a play because it looks like a play. Although there are a couple exterior and location shots most of it takes place in the same setting. But it works well as a film and it has held up well over the years even if many of the scenes are obviously visually dated.
Hawn and Heckart are great – and it's a well deserved Oscar for Heckart. However I was really blown away by Albert's performance. Although he only won a Golden Globe this is also an Oscar worthy performance and in my opinion they most hypnotizing out of the 3.
SPOILER**** I'm noting this as a 'SPOILER' but will try to be somewhat vague here to not actually spoil it for those who have not seen the film. There is a pivotal moment in the film where Albert's character realizes what's about to happen, and he has this moment of emotion. I was so incredibly choked up by his performance because we all have gone through a similar event in our lives. That one scene made the whole movie for me. He did an incredible job.
This is definitely a must see movie – especially if you are an actor in search of learning a real craft!!
