Nobody would argue that “Play It Again, Sam” is a great movie. It has some funny moments. But its depiction of how men and women relate makes it seem as if 1972 was in another century.
Oh, wait.
Well, at any rate, there is a reason to watch. A supporting character, a businessman, calls his office from wherever he happens to be with an “I can be reached at…” message. This happens over and over. Viewed in 2012, it’s sort of amazing.
OK, that might not be a compelling reason to watch a movie. But as a glimpse at a long-gone era, it’s kind of fun. And it makes you wonder what we will invent next.
