@EricandDish Cotton didn't get an award because he had African American blood. The Academy wasn't interested in the same controversy that happened with Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance Chauncey (he ended up committing suicide when they found out he had black blood).

@EricandDish No award cuz he's like Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance Chauncey Yellow Robe, became suspicious of Long Lance & alerted the studio.Long Lance could not explain his heritage. An investigation revealed that his dad had not been a chief. Neighbors from his town thought his background was African ancestry. Thou the studio did not publicize its investigation, the accusations led many of his socialite acquaintances to abandon him, they said "We're so ashamed! We entertained a n!gger!"

A beautiful sad romance that is perfect. I cried at the end. A nearly perfect film with completely true emotions. See it now.

The film is a wonderful satire on modern life, its superficialities, its cowardices. And yet by the end it achieves an incredible pathos. The masters of comedy know the power of sympathy. Chaplin's mentor, Dan Leno, advised Charlie in his early days, "Pathos, Charlie, always pathos."
The motif of the hands in the film is great, and points the way to the theme of the film, the search for authentic connection of one human being to another. We are still searching...

One of the quintessential '60s films, completely of the era.

I hated the trailer and I hated this movie in general. Even though I had a few Budweisers before watching this film, I still didn't understand it. There was one bright spot: Joseph Cotten's performance. I am shocked as to why the Academy didn't give him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor that year (1968). A classic example of why the AMPAS isn't hip.

The DVD has a good explanation of how the film works, which helps fill in the gaps after you have seen it. It's clever and fun.
