[DVD] Dean Stockwell Double Feature: Paper Man (1971) & Born to Be Sold (1981) Reviews:
Only One Movie
2008-01-19 - the dvd i got only has "paper man". the price is right so i'm not
complaining about getting the other movie.

Paper Man
2005-12-26 - The first thing I notice is the hair styles from 1971, the long hair on the boys, influenced by the Beatles.

The editorial description of this movie got one thing wrong. The college students are not erasing their charges on the credit card. They are paying the charges. I can understand the editorialist's error though. Who in his right mind would not only use someone else's credit card, but also pay the charges he incurs?

This movie is paced well and holds your interest. You realize that someone is the bad guy, and you start to suspect the three male leads who remain after the first murder is committed. You also start to suspect the computer itself, and the fabricated human body in the script. So you have five suspects.

In one sense, it is a modern issue. It is about identity theft. In this case, the identity being stolen belongs to nobody, because it is simply someone's last and first name reversed. The bad guy is using that fictional person's name now, and using it successfully, in order to cover up his own fugitive past.

In another sense, it is so outdated as to be quaint. Computers are made much of. The expert explains to somebody what "logging in" means. Computers are huge and fill a big room. They use punch cards. The little desktop or laptop you are using now would put that monstrous clunker to shame.
