Customer Reviews

Forgotten Glenda Jackson Film Worth Seeing
Glenda Jackson, Sandy Dennis and Geraldine Page are all excellent in this little seen film from the 70's. The script and the acting are very good. The main problem is that this DVD transfer is terrible. Poor picture and sound. If you've never seen the film, I recommend it. If you have seen it, skip this DVD and hope they come out with a better quality DVD in the future.

Nuns on the take
Imagine a convent as Watergate and Glenda Jackson as Richard Nixon. Nasty Habits is a parody of Watergate that Lampoons everyone from Sandy Dennis as the John Dean character to Melina Mecouri as Henry Kissenger. It has however been called a "one line movie" (You won't have Alexandra to kick around anymore). But I think you have to appreciate it for what it is, a thinly disguised political lampoon of a time that wasn't that funny. I highly recommend it if you're a democrat....

Nasty Habits
I agree that the quality is terrible: transferred from an old videotape, no doubt. Regardless, this film is HILARIOUS!!! After a while, I didn't notice the poor quality, and just roared with laughter at the antics of these connivers. Sandy Dennis's "John Dean" steals the show, and Melina Mercouri's take as "Henry Kissinger" is nothing short of brilliant - and what a treat to see the husbands (Rip Torn, Eli Wallach, Jerry Stiller) also in the film with their wives (Geraldine Page, Anne Jackson and Anne Meara, respectively). Hopefully, the studio will process a new DVD that is worthy of this film, which is really funny.
