Sam's Song (1969)
7/10
a hack job
18 February 2009
This film was incoherently reedited as the swap.The original film made more sense.

The film starts with a scene of police cars with flashing lights as one of the officers says that this man is going to explain what happened. then it goes to the beginning. DeNiro plays a tired film editor who spends a weekend with some friends on Long Island as their beach side mansion with swimming pool.The first is a potpourri of poolside shenanigans including DeNiro running off with the pretty lady and going on the beach where they play mock war games,lay down on the beach where he scratches her back,wind up in the lighthouse where they smoke a joint wrapped in a Bible page and of course make love. The second happens on a boat where the married couple are unhappy over the husbands infidelity leading to what happens at the start.

none of this is evident in the Swap which was just a patch job with very little Deniro. I cannot understand why. This swap only gets a 3 ,Sams Song gets a 7
