Movie Reviews of Lord Love a Duck

Movie Review: John Waters without the oomph
Summary: 2 Stars

Granted, it WAS the '60s, but that's no excuse for this heavy-handed satire. You'll want to soundly slap just about everyone involved in it (well, except for the wondrous Ruth Gordon).

I figured this to be a last-ditch attempt to make a teen idol of sad old queen Roddy McDowell.

Many of the scenes, especially those involving Tuesday Weld and her "father," have a real John Waters feel -- I found myself wondering if the Master of Sleaze had seen this abortion of a movie.

Make like it's the '60s again and watch it high -- otherwise, you won't be able to stomach it.

Summary of Lord Love a Duck

You can't always get what you want unless, of course, you've got Alan "Mollymauk" Musgrave on your side! Featuring outstanding performances by Roddy McDowall, Tuesday Weld and a supporting cast that includes Lola Albright, Ruth Gordon and Harvey Korman, this "hilarious" (Variety) satire on teen excesses is "superbly comic" (Los Angeles Times)! With a special gift for manipulating the outcome of any situation, high-minded high schooler Mollymauk (McDowall) sets out to helpbeautiful new girl on campus Barbara Anne (Weld). Trouble is, Barbara Anne wants everything,and Mollymauk's "help" is making a mess out of everyone's livesincluding hers!
The term "cult movie" might have been invented for this little-known satire. Lord Love a Duck was the directing debut of screenwriter George Axelrod, who wrote The Seven Year Itch and adapted Breakfast at Tiffany's. He displays little feel for directing, and the movie's ideas spray out in a dozen directions (academic absurdity, Drive-In Churches, psychoanalysis), yet the thing is so weird it becomes distinctive. Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld are the every-which-way nonconformists, and Weld leaves no doubt she was a movie star who understood exactly how silly movie stars were (maybe that's why she never broke through). Weld's character has a scene modeling cashmere sweaters for her father that's one of the loopiest Freudian pranks ever pulled in a movie. It never jells into something solid, but this film deserves a spot between The Loved One and The Knack on the shelf of 1960s pop satire. --Robert Horton
