The episodic storyline is unified by an unending flow of vintage hit songs, including "Slow Boat to China", "Stranger in Paradise" and "Rockin' Chair". The most effective vignette involves cleaning-lady

Senior Citizen Lonely Hearts go to the legendary Roseland Ballroom to Dance every weekend.Quite Depressing, maybe I'm not old enough to appreciate this one.

Christopher Walken as a young man: Mannequin? Waxwork? Jonathan Rhys Myers lookalike? The man would have looked ethereal if not for the horrible 70's vintage clothing he had wear in the movie.

1. Russel: You think I'm vain. Cause I like myself? I like my suit. Don't you like my suit? You like my tie?
2. Marilyn: [giggles] Cute.
3. Russel: Cute? How about the rest of me? My eyes, hair, profile. Legs long enough? [gestures at stomach] Mmm, flat.
