"The Last of Sheila" -- a great film, a bad film. We had a peculiar theme track followed by a hit Bette Midler tune, an excellent mystery, some terrible dialogue ("Tom, do you really think that there could be a homosexual on board the yacht?"), terrific plot twists, a running advertisement for Newports and the inexplicable presence of hand puppets. My kind of movie.
Ben mentioned that the film isn't listed on Film Affinity, so I'll give my rating here: a 7. No, an 8. No, a 7. Or it's a 7 with the great James Coburn, which probably makes it an 8.
What would you give it?

I would give it a solid 7. I really liked it, but its weaknesses prevent a higher rating from me.
Yeah, I say 7. The 70s cheesiness and bad dialogue keep it from 8. But James Coburn was awesome.
