patience is a virtue, Cassavetes wasn't making movies for the Game-boy generation

Yeah, "Gloria" is pretty much unwatchable; apart from the dreaded Gena Rowlands the kid ( child actor would be more PC ) is atrociously miscast

Funny thing is, that was a relatively popular film back then + probably Cassavetes most commercially successful ( go figure )

Difficult to believe; but "Minnie + Moskowitz" is actually *worse* than "Gloria" + made on a much lower budget

Cassavetes was nominated by the Writers Guild of America for the screenplay of M + M, as "best comedy written for the screen"

( Go figure x 2 )

This would vindicate anyones taste in films ( ! )
