Once Is Not Enough (6/10) Movie CLIP - Why Him? (1975) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mike (Kirk Douglas) and January (Deborah Raffin) argue about her relationship with Tom.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this high-suds potboiler based on the best-selling novel by Jacqueline Susann, Mike Wayne (Kirk Douglas) is a past-his-prime movie producer who lives to make his college-age daughter January (Deborah Raffin) happy. January is also very fond of her father, perhaps more so than would seem healthy to the casual observer. Desperate to keep financing the good life for his daughter, Mike weds Deidre Granger (Alexis Smith), a wealthy bisexual who isn't about to give up her long-term relationship with Karla (Melina Mercouri). January finds herself pursued by suave playboy David Milford (George Hamilton), but she's more strongly attracted to Tom Colt (David Janssen), a middle-aged alcoholic novelist who reminds January of her father. Brenda Vaccaro won a Golden Globe award (and received an Oscar nomination) for her supporting performance as the man-crazy editor of a fashion magazine.

This reminds me of what Parents Magazine said about this film in their review. "Once may be too much."

[remcat]

She was so lovely and innocent. I don't blame Kirk for being the overprotective father. He is so cute when he is like that. Actually, he is cute all the time.

[misselanys]

So much undertones of incest in this book/movie. She was clearly in love with her father and the fact she was so sheltered from the accident she is litetally a small child in the body of a woman. So psychologically complex and Jacqueline Susann so underappreciated.

[eezee]

She was beautiful but had no charisma as an actress at all. Kind of reminds me of Bo Derek in that way. Physical beauty with no charisma.

[beckyzaugg]

Kirk Douglas was not good in this film. Not at all.
