needs a better kid
Navy sailor John Baggs Jr. (James Caan) is on a Cinderella Liberty pass when he picks up sexy Maggie Paul (Marsha Mason) hustling pool in the city. She’s a prostitute with a son named Doug. His friend former sailor Forshay (Eli Wallach) is a doorman at a bar. Baggs’ records are lost and he gets no pay & no orders. He is taken aback when the social worker lets slip Maggie’s pregnancy from another guy earlier.

Mason got an Oscar nomination. When she got exposed by the social worker, she has a terrific moment of desperation and anger. It’s an excellent acting overall. Same goes for Caan. It’s a rambling plot but that’s not a problem. The actual problem is the kid. Kid actors are often a hit or miss proposition. This one is mostly a miss. He doesn’t really have any charisma. It makes it more difficult to develop chemistry with Baggs. This is quite fine and would be great with a better kid.Read More
