Martin Scorsese​American film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film historian Martin Marcantonio Luciano Scorsese made the short films while he attended New York University's film school; these include “What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?” (1963), “It's Not Just You, Murray!” (1964), and his most famous short of the period “The Big Shave” (1967).

Maybe I am not enough of a cynic? emtilt Surprisingly cliched, overwrought, and predictable. Still well directed and acted, though. Fantastic score. thaklos This film is very well constructed, and the intensity of the acting is commendable.

I wish I could have enjoyed this expertly made film more, and I hope that other people aren't as jaded in their evaluation of the long expected twist.
