Very interesting.  One evening I was curious about THE NATURAL and my
wife and a friend were more interested in seeing STREETS OF FIRE.  We
all came out raving about how good the films we had seen were.  As it
turned out, when we each saw the film we had missed, we each thought
the first film we saw was much better than the second.  Evelyn really
did not think very much of THE NATURAL, but was still quite impressed
with STREETS OF FIRE.  I liked some of the style of STREETS OF FIRE,
but I thought it really was just a bad Western in another setting.
Incidentally, there seems to be some confusion as to where and when the
film is set.  The film says clearly "Another time... Another place..."
This is an excuse to mix elements of the 50's, the present, and the
future.  I disliked the film, but if somebody is serious about calling
it a Totally Bad Film, they're nuts.  They can't have seen too many
films without seeing a lot worse than STREETS OF FIRE.
