Slaughterhouse-Five

Slaughterhouse-Five (1972) starring Michael Sacks, Ron Leibman, Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans, Valerie Perrine. Billy Pilgrim (Sacks) has become unstuck in time. The movie jumps around in time also, from Pilgrim's youngest days to his days as a grunt in World War II to the days he is held captive by aliens on the planet Tralfamadore. The attempt to translate Kurt Vonnegut's novel to the silver screen is not entirely successful, but comes pretty close. I think those who have read the book will actually be able to follow the movie better than others. As for me, I loved the book, liked the movie OK. The disc supplies subtitles for the hearing impaired, but not closed captions. Grade: B+
