Your Ticket Is No Longer Valid (1981)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Sadly Over-hyped

good back-story, and good acting

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I remember I saw this film in 1981. Being in my early twenties, it had an impact in me. It deals about obsessions in a man that having not aged to well due to a excessively free lifestyle, has to coupe with the fact that his own sexual capabilities are fading. Now, he can only get his act together, sometimes, after he watches his beautiful girlfriend being fondled by other men. On one occasion, he even hired a guy to be with her while he watched from a closet. The case is, his girlfriend,trying to help him so that he could perform, agreed to the thing. For the man, not going all the way while making love was a personal trauma. The circumstances about his descend are very well shown, almost in a classy way. Your ticket is no longer valid explores something that recent surveys have shown all to well: it is a fantasy of many men to watch their partners doing it with another man. Whether that comes true or not is another issue. The surroundings of the film are great as well as its locations. It has its funny moments also.There is a short part from that great actor, George Peppard.

Ordinarily, I'm not disgusted with movies. And probably this movie did what it set out to do if its' aim was to disgust audiences. Subject: old guy can't get it up, nor can the other robber baron (played by George Peppard). Wife loves him, but he can't believe that since he's so concerned about his age, and her youth.Kind of sad to see all this, pre-Viagra of course. It would be a great 2 hour ad for Viagra, but doesn't have much else in it; unless you like the snuff-dancing done by the dancer. Macho looking guy is turned into a slave in a very humiliating manner. It made me feel pretty dirty to watch this movie, as though I were a voyeaur.Watching Richard Harris do his push-ups was a great spectacle, and I don't mind THAT kind of voyeaur-ing. No accounting for tastes, I guess.

I totally recommend this movie if you are a Richard Harris fan (who isn't?), if you don't dig him, nix this as it is somewhat shameless. Once again, Richard is being his usual exhibitionist self...the way I like it. He is so utterly not self-conscious about his shameless parading, he becomes attractive for that very reason. Too bad there was no full monty a girl can be curious, right ).

This was a rather disgusting movie is alot of ways, but at the same time, I think it was really wonderful. It was a gross-out way to show men the extent they will go to in preservation of their sex drive or lack thereof. Richard Harris is wonderful as the man who's losing everything at the same time, and goes to the most extreme measures to hold on to his fortunes in business and romance. The sex fantasy sequences are stupid and gratuitous, it could have been a much better film without them. I don't want to give too much away but Harris' performance as "Jason" is a tour de force. Jennifer Dale is excellent as "Laura", the young girl who would love him no matter what.
