Like many movies, "Petulia" tells the story of a young woman (Julie Christie) unsatisfied with her marriage getting involved with another man (George C. Scott). The major difference is that this movie is set amid the counterculture of San Francisco in the late '60s - so why's she getting involved with an older man, I wonder. It seems like the movie's main point is to try and capitalize on what happened in the '60s. I mean, it's not like Julie Christie, George C. Scott and Richard Chamberlain were born to play these roles - although I can't imagine who else would play them.
Anyway, it's maybe worth seeing once. "Lost in Translation" managed to elaborate on the idea. Also starring Shirley Knight and Janis Joplin (happy birthday, Janis!).
