Movie Reviews of Straight-Jacket
Movie Review: Very original!
Summary: 4 Stars
I absolutely love this film! It is clever and offers a funny but serious insight of the communist paranoia of the 1950s. Matt Letscher is great as Guy Stone, the Rock Hudson-like actor who is too absorbed in finding the perfect lover (at least for the night) while ignoring the possible ramifications of his actions. Adam Greer is adorable as Rick Foster, the openly gay writer who scoffs at the hypocrisy of Tinseltown. He isn't afraid to tell Guy Stone what he thinks but his honesty also reveals his true affections for him. Veronica Cartwright, however, steals this film as Jerry, Stone's agent and closeted lesbian. She cares too much for Guy to leave him to the wolves of Hollywood but is obviously frustrated at Guy's childish ways of looking at the world.
This movie is so underrated. It deserved a lot more accolades than it was given and should have earned Cartwright some recognition.
