If you’re hankering to go see a flick at your local theater, it looks as if you could do far worse than “My One and Only.”
The comedy stars Kevin Bacon and Oscar winner Renee Zellweger, and it’s loosely based on the 1950s childhood of future Hollywood actor George Hamilton. Part of the film takes place on Route 66. Although a chunk of the film was shot in Baltimore (as a substitute for the St. Louis), according to IMDB.com, it also was shot in the Route 66 town of Santa Fe, N.M. With all of its vintage cars, throwback architecture and period clothing, it looks fabulous, as this trailer will show:
“My One and Only” has been drawing warm reviews (as evidenced by its respectable 71 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes). The movie opened a couple of weeks ago, but only in a handful of theaters. It’s starting to roll into wider release now, so check your local listings.
