An overly smart, darkly funny, slightly ominous, practically magical boy arrives as if from nowhere. He takes a shine to a girl and decides to use his abilities, whether constructive or destructive, to give her whatever she wants.
People start falling to his machinations. And she likes it. Then people start getting hurt. And she doesn’t like it so much anymore. But it doesn’t stop.
Mix all this with a razor sharp pastiche of teen culture… Sounds like the plot of ‘Heathers’, right? Sure does. But first it was the plot of Lord Love a Duck in 1966.
If nothing else, check out the sweater buying scene. It’s on YouTube. It’s completely insane.
Thanks for the reminder! I always enjoy Roddy McDowell.
I managed to find this one, so enjoy the insanity!
