CAVEMAN (1981). Where Ringo Starr met Barbara Bach. They’re still together actually.

You know, there are films that you know are bad but that you enjoy anyway. Even more when they are sprinkled with nostalgia. The scientific term for such films I believe is “guilty pleasures”. I caught this film one day at my grandparents’ house, I was 14 I think. It was a beautiful day, one of those days where the whole universe seems to work hard to make sure things go your way. This film landed in the middle of such a day.

Ringo is charming in it—he’s Ringo in it—Barbara Bach is beautiful. Neither can act but what the heck. There’s Dennis Quaid, Shelley Long. I love the yeti in it actually, in fact I love all the creatures. They are old-fashioned Harryhausen monsters, which just adds to the dumb charm of the film.

I think this was the last time anyone saw Ringo’s eyes. After this he put on shades and never took them off anymore. Isn’t it crazy though: when Ringo was a kid, the doctors told his mother she shouldn’t expect him to live very long. He was always sick and ill and weakish. He’ll be 80 next year.

Barbara Bach (originally a New Yorker) had that typical European pin-up look of the 1970s. Like Gloria Guida. She was always appearing in pulpy Italian co-productions, running around naked and chased by rubber monsters and subjected to every fetish you can imagine (maybe). THE GREAT ALLIGATOR is a famous one, which also features Mel Ferrer, Audrey Hepburn’s ex-husband.

Oh hey. I can’t stop talking.
