Elvis (and Mary Tyler Moore) with the little autistic girl that Dr. Elvis cures by hugging her.
We closed out the day shift of movies with another old favorite, Change of Habit. It was, in fact, the first film I reviewed for the site, back in its KWAM days. I had posted a Giant Claw piece I’d written before the site started, but this was the first actually written to be posted.
The film is trying so hard to be cutting edge and gritty and relevant, but in the end (as I often opined) it felt like a backdoor pilot from a Room 222 pilot. My dramas don’t always go over well, and I don’t think people loved this one, but nobody seemed annoyed by it either. I’ll take that as a win.
