Centennial Summer at Paramount reviewed by Carl Kane
The Philadelphia scene of the Paramount review questions the 20th Century Fox film Centennial Summer. Carl Kane notes Albert Idell’s critique and cites Wilde’s charm plus a flawed plot and weak character development. The review highlights the Parisian American fantasy setting, family dynamics, and an overextended, disjointed narrative.
