Blacklisted Hollywood writer loses his
memory and finds a new home, and
a new life, in a small town.
This was a nice little feel-good movie, and
as a librarian, I was of
course pleased with all the freedom of
speech stuff. Jim Carrey, who
is a good actor when he stops trying to be
the new Robin Williams, was
quite charming in this story of a
blacklisted Hollywood writer who
loses his memory and is adopted by a whole
town as one of their lost
WWII vets returned to them.
I'm not a big fan of Martin Landau (too many
episodes of Space 1999)
but he was very good in this as well. A
pleasant, politically correct
movie, often quite charming and funny.
