Summer of '42 by Robert Mulligan

By turns hilarious and heartbreaking coming of age story set during WWII, based on the book by Herman Raucher. The scene in the drugstore is a masterpiece. Ms. O'Neill is unforgettable

The Rat Race by Robert Mulligan

2025 movie #59. 1960. Reynolds, Curtis, Rickles. Sounds like a romantic comedy. But it's a drama. Curtis is a struggling musician and Reynolds is a struggling dancer trying to make it in NYC. He's the eternal optimist and she's all beaten down by the big city. Good performances.

The Man in the Moon by Robert Mulligan

A film starring Sam Waterson, Tess Harper and Reese Witherspoon (MGM, 1991).

A 14-year-old girl meets a boy.

C (Indifferent).

I gave up after 30 minutes. In that time, there hadn't been a single scene that I hadn't already seen a dozen times.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Robert Mulligan

A single father is the defense attorney for a black man in the south.

I would have liked it a lot more if it had focused on the trial, instead of all the business with the kids and Boo Radley. I never really feel like I'm seeing things from the kids' perspective, so they end up feeling like a distraction from the "adult" story.
