A very interesting examination of religion, morals, and sex. Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was full of intellectuals rather than morons? Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was full of beautiful women who always invited intelligent and mature guys to sleep over?

Neat, funny little story about a womanizing Catholic guy, with a good acting, a neat twist, and a good ending. A lot of it seemed very natural and real. Do I credit the awesome acting, the acting style of the time, or the crappy acting? The story isn’t rushed, and that helps too. A few narratively long but interesting diatribes on Pascal, probability, and religion. A hell of a lot of smoking. The guy looked like a young (old pitcher from Major League), and his weasely friend looked like Isaac Lowenkron.
