Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Embarassing
Probably the worst movie I have ever watched. Actually I didn't expect anything delightful from the beginning, and forced myself to watch it solely because of Christopher Plummer whom I adore. And Christopher Plummer is fine as usual - though he is definitely not performing Shakespeare, but a rather aphasic, gum chewing and cheaply dressed police inspector. But the rest of the movie... oh my God! You won't be spared anything: torbid atmosphere and terrible film score, whorehouses, heroin addicted ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - ...Five, Six, Grab Your Crucifix...
I've loved Karen Black ever since I sat rivetted by her performance in TRILOGY OF TERROR, back about a million years ago. THE PYX has Ms. Black as Elizabeth Lucy, a heroin-addicted prostitute, just trying to get by. Unfortunately, she gets drawn into a horrific situation, resulting in her demise. The movie opens at the point of her death. Christopher Plummer (Dolores Claborne) is a cop named Henderson who tries to unravel the mystery surrounding Elizabeth's homicide. We are taken along as things grow ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Unusual, Excellent Film
I must disagree with the prior review; I saw the film theatrically in 1973 when it first opened theatrically and was a bit put off; then I saw it again about a year later and saw plot points I had missed the first time and found the film to actually be quite intricate with fascinating characters. Karen Black turns in one of her best performances as Elizabeth Lucy, the heroin-addicted prostitute (and she also wrote and performs several effective songs on the soundtrack). Far more intellectual and riveting ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DEVILISHLY DULL
What were Karen Black and Christopher Plummer thinking when they agreed to star in this movie? Obviously they needed jobs, as this dull and muddled film lacks any true artistic merit. While director Harvey Hart tried to be original in his dual flashback style, it doesn't help when the script overloads itself with confusion and awful dialogue. The movie opens with Karen Black hurtling from a high apartment building, and Plummer is the detective out to solve the death. Black was a prostitute, and somehow ... Read More

Life

Harry Freedman came to Canada at the age of three. He was a late starter in music, at 18 years he started studying clarinet after hearing Benny Goodmans band. But his teacher turned his head around, and in 1945 he went to the Royal Cons. of Music in Toronto. There he studied composition with John Weinzweig, and oboe with Perry Bauman. Then Ernest Macmillan, conductor of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, engaged Freedman to play english Horn in the orchestra. Freedman remained with the orchestra for 25 years. During the summer of 1950 he studied at Tanglewood with Messiaen. Freedman was active as a teacher and composer in Canada.
