Remember My Name (RT 67%)

In which we learn that Mike will forget your name but buy your poster.

"Throughout REMEMBER MY NAME the actors work hard to fulfill the surface requirements of scenes that have no dramatic foundation, and the results are often skittish and baffling."

Unlike Janet Maslin of the New York Times one host can't get enough Anthony Perkins so we return to him as a leading man in this episode. This produces troubling results as the other host thinks he's a "nice guy" in this somewhat hard-to-find film (unless you aren't an animal and have Turner Classic Movies) and that brings up questions that are best left unanswered about this host's dating life. What is not in doubt is that Geraldine Chaplin (not Paige) gives an all time performance about a persistent woman who is sex-positive and suffers no fools. We think that was the message here. Don't question us.
