[a fool in paradise]

I didn’t care much for Brian DePalma’s The Untouchables either.

I’ve only seen the first part of Scorsese’s Mean Streets but it sort of sets the template for much of his career that followed (the use of rock songs, the casting, the camerawork).

Mean Streets (1973) is a ‘smaller’ film and as such it is overlooked by modern audiences.

This was the ‘treasure trove of quotes’ for earlier audiences

“I didn’t care much for Brian DePalma’s The Untouchables either.”

Totally agree, complete disappointment.
