Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Once Is Not Enough (1975)

Clumsy melodrama involving a has-been movie producer marrying for money so his recently recuperated (learned how to walk and talk again after a motorcycle accident) daughter can remain in the lap of luxury. It’s convoluted and pretty yucky, especially when the daughter falls for an impotent older writer because, we’re led to believe, what she really wants is to be in a relationship with her father. It’s ugly and empty.
