A STORY OF LIFE AND LOVE IN 1980!

Overview

New York, 1980: airplanes have replaced cars, numbers have replaced names, pills have replaced food, government-arranged marriages have replaced love, and test tube babies have replaced ... well, you get the idea. Scientists revive a man struck by lightning in 1930; he is rechristened "Single O". He is befriended by J-21, who can't marry the girl of his dreams because he isn't "distinguished" enough -- until he is chosen for a 4-month expedition to Mars by a renegade scientist. The Mars J-21, his friend, and stowaway Single O visit is full of scantily clad women doing Busby Berkeley-style dance numbers and worshiping a fat middle-aged man.

Yikes, but this is a mess of a film! It starts with some archive of a very peaceful New York in 1880 before advancing us fifty years to a city of hustle and bustle; motor cars and electricity. This is where a poor soul is victim to that latter invention - whilst playing golf - and resuscitated with the name of "Single O" (El Brendel). A bit of a fish out of water, he befriends the disgruntled "J-21" (John Garrick). Now he has just lost out in the marriage court and so can't marry his sweetheart (Maureen O'Sullivan). Take heart, though - the decision will be reviewed in 1980! It's to that timef...read the rest
