It's a later film of Kramer's that has a heavy, negative, cynical edge missing from his other films. Compared with the rest of Kramer's ouvre, this sticks out like a genuninely "sore thumb". It's also a very cynical, dark comedy; he wasn't known for his humor but for his films of the human condition, expressed in the hope of the individual of overcoming his dark side(s), etc.. He rarely strayed from these general themes, but when he did...it just didn't ring true.I mean this guy is the director of a film about the few survivors of a nuclear war..."On the Beach", "Inherit the Wind", "The Defiant Ones", "Home of the Brave" and "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner". Message films...high quality, well crafted stories.
