Being a person of a certain age, I was attracted to the nostalgia of this film - especially knowing QT's ability to capture the kitsch of the 50's and 60's. Not being a QT fan, I bought a ticket with some trepidation, but this film was a surprise. It handles a notorious piece of Hollywood history with creativity and originality and delivers a much appreciated slice of life in 1969. I love that it's a movie with many levels - and it's good on all of them. It's a softer, gentler side of QT, with heroes, and don't we all wish things had really happened this way.
