Customer Reviews of Ginger in the Morning (Audio Describe
I Love Sissy, but... I am a great fan of Sissy Spacek but I found this movie to be a disappointment. The idea behind the movie is nothing new but with Sissy, I thought it would be special. Markham is terrible, so unconvincing, the dialogue is bland and the introduction of Markham's friend is nothing more than a diversion from what should have been more development of the relationship between Sissy and Markham, I guess the writers didn't know how to handle that. Sissy is, as always, a delight to watch and with better support from a co-star and better dialogue, her performance would have been much better. She had to have known she was trying to carry a lame story all by herself. The ending was pure Hollywood sappiness. Why in the world would anyone think the 2 of them would make it as a couple?
pleasant TV movie
This has the look of a TV movie, shot in 1972 (not 1973) before Sissy Spacek hit it big with BADLANDS and CARRIE.
The story is a common male fantasy. A stuffed-shirt middle-aged man encounters a young hippie free spirit (Sissy Spacek). Naturally, she teaches him to open up, be loose, have fun. He's attracted to her, but also resists her affections, and thus hurts her. But in the end, he realizes how wonderful she is, begs forgiveness, and it looks like they might stay together.
Other films in this genre include BREEZY (with Kay Lenz as the hippie free spirit girl, and William Holden as the middle aged guy), and I LOVE YOU ALICE B. TOKLAS (with Peter Sellers as the middle-aged man).
GINGER IN THE MORNING is a pleasant TV movie, rooted in its time. Although flower children were on the wane by 1972, TV usually comes late to trends, trailing films. (The film credits state a 1972 copyright date, not 1973.)
Ginger in the Morning equals sleep at night!
A dull movie with little meaning and point. I am sort of disappointed in Sissy for this role. She is usually seen with her acting top-notch and performances at their peak. But, in this low-entertainment feature she seems listless and sort of, well, bored with her part.
Spacek stars in GINGER IN THE MORNING as part of a very slim cast. A hitchhiker (Spacek) is picked up by a buisinessman (Monte Markham) and they fall for each other. In fact, Spacek falls for his drunken friend at one point.
This movie lacks energy, pace, and an interesting plot. I would recommend this film only to those who are absolutely obsessed with Sissy Spacek (or any other of the characters) or those who just want to kill time, or money.
On the brief pro side, the music is fairly listenable...for the most part...
