Taking Off

Published: May 17, 2023, 6 a.m.

We near the end of Mike White May with a look at Milos Forman's first foray into American filmmaking, which also happens to be quite the doozy to track down: Taking Off. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Supporting Characters Bill Ackerman stop by to talk about this underrated Forman film that features the one and only Bobo Bates!

Starring Buck Henry and Lynn Carlin, the two play New York parents whose daughter has run away to audition to be a musician which causes them to go out into the big wild New York of '71 to find her. It's a comedy of errors, manners, and more as the young and old take shots at each other along with possibly finding a way to come together.
