The Boy in the Plastic Bubble/The Harrad Experiment

Rating:
Summary: Such an Enjoyable film!
Review: I can't remeber when I first saw the Boy in the Plastic Bubble, but it had been a WHILE. The dvd quality isn't fantastic, but it was fine considering it's a TV-movie from 1976. Regardless, I really enjoyed the film and especially the lead performances by Travolta and the lovely Glynnis O'Connor(one of those great 70s actresses who doesn't work as much today, but she's so good in the movies she's in). Sure it's a cheesy story, but I just got so sucked into it. Familiar faces pop up, like that of Robert Reed, Ralph Bellamy and John Friedrich(great in THE WANDERERS). I was listening to an interview with Vincent Gallo recently, and he named this as one of his favorite films(I think that's pretty cool, but whatever he likes is cool because BUFFALO '66 is a near-masterpiece). I am sad to read that the Harrad Experiment(also on this dvd) is cut, but I still thought it was pretty funny-especially Bruno Kirby!

Review: MARENGO FILMS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE HARRAD EXPERIMENT HAS BEEN UPDATED. THE COMPANY HAS COMPLETED A NEW SOUND DESIGN AND RE-EDITED THE FILM TO INCLUDE ALL THE ORIGINAL CONTENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT NOW THE FILM DOES CONTAIN SOME NUDITY AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. FINDING ORIGINAL ELEMENTS HAS TAKEN WELL OVER A YEAR BUT THE FILM IS NOW RESTORED TO IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION.

Summary: No more censorship please
Review: When I first viewed the film "Harrad Experiment" it was on VHS, the not censored version. This is kind of an underground film, typical of the 70s.

But beware, that version is cut. The film is most notoriously known for its nude scenes of actors now quite known (Don Johnson and Gregory Harrison, among others). That version contains absolutely NO nude scenes.
