| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe Last Detail remains better known due to Jack Nicholson's iconic performance, yet Cinderella Liberty is the one that really gets under the skin. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumGreat character studies highlight this James Caan vehicle. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzToo much sentimentality gives it a false ring. |
| User ReviewSarah HI saw this so long ago, I don't remember it. Quote: "We're man and wife in the eyes of (I forget) and the State of Washington!" |
| User ReviewSarah FGreat acting by James Caan, plus great story |
| User ReviewPrivate UI saw this movie also, when I was very young, in my early teens, I remembered a story about three people's lives and how their lifestyles become involved with one another, a story about understanding and accepting...it is a very weird powerful movie about love. |

| User ReviewRichard DForgotten '70s film with great performances by James Caan, Eli Wallach and especially Marsha Mason (who was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar). Written by Daryl Ponicsan who also wrote THE LAST DETAIL. Sailor Caan gets caught up in Navy red tape so he has to hang out in Seattle for a bit, then meets up with boozy bar strumpet Mason and her bastard street-kid son, and falls in love. Shot on location in the old-school sleazy porno district with groovy '70s tunes by Paul Williams. Emotionally satisfying ending, lots of character actors turn up in bit parts. Recommended. |
| User ReviewDavid KI have some history with this movie that reflects on the rating I had the priviledge of being in a scene that they did in Tacoma Washington. It was in the bars, I am setting at the bar. |
| User ReviewByron BThis is a great movie. The story is great, and by the end of the film, you'll find that you've developed an emotional investment into the characters, their actions, and what they're thinking. Great film...highly recommended. Also, on a sidenote - the song by Paul Williams was lacking in everything that actually makes a good song, but the score by John Williams was good, in my opinion. Very jazzy, and it fit the film well. |
