Reviews:

Under-rated Rafelson flick!
I thought this superior to CARNAL KNOWLEDGE and am a bit surprised by the reaction to it at time of release. After FIVE EASY PIECES and before STAY HUNGRY this ’72 film was thrown aside and dismissed. I guess Nicholson wasn’t using his eyebrows enough for public taste. Bruce Dern gives a superb performance as his shyster-dreamer brother with big plans. Ellen Burstyn is paranoid justifiably and gives a lovely performance. The young girl Julie Ann Robinson is terrible.

A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Bruce Dern. Throw in Scatman and John Ryan and you have a fascinating mood piece. What happened to Bob Rafelson?

The beauty of decay
You can watch this movie without sound, you can watch it in the English original without understanding a word – it is still a great experience. The actors and their surroundings merge into a whole, which has one aim: To show the beauty of decay. Atlantic City (in its state in the early seventies) is shown as a dead end, a city to die in. In The King of Marvin Garden Rafelson used Atlantic City like Italian director Luchino Visconti used Venice in some of his movies.

This is one of the very few genuine, serious colour movies I know. It is a delight to see just how much care was taken with the actor’s wardrobes, the set design and with the appearance of the sky in each scene. Ellen Burstyn (really one of the great American screen beauties) shines. Of course the should symbolize the beauty of decay. Well, there is more beauty than decay in this case, Burstyn looks gorgeous however hard she tries not to.
