Movie Reviews of Charly
Movie Review: Charly
Summary: 2 Stars
I found it hard to believe that Cliff Robertson won an Oscar for what is essentially a condescending portrait of mental retardation. The use of "psychedelic" split-screen was at once annoying and laughable. Claire Bloom fared best as Charly's sympathetic teacher but less so as his sexy lover. Consider this a movie with noble but failed intentions. Either that or time has not been kind to this sixties relic. What personally galls me is that Peter O'Toole lost the Oscar to Robertson for his infinitely superior performance in "Lion in the Winter".
