Funny, sometimes very bad movie, but Andrew Prine made it for me. I liked his presence in a few movies before, and now I found that I could literally identify with his actions, face reactions and moods, as in front of a mirror... I think that maybe it is so because he is an Aquarian like myself, as a performer he does things the way that I would do them, which perhaps means that he is not a "Method" actor, but more in the lines of Brecht (another Aquarian), more realistic, more improvised, more aware of his performance, and being critical about it. There is also something in Prine's gaze that makes Simon a "tragic figure" or a sad, homeless, out-of-work magician, even in a hippie occultist movie like this. Simon has a sense of humor, is gay-friendly (or perhaps bisexual), he watches with a funny face of irony and disbelief as Ultra Violet performs a silly satanic rite, as the queen of witches. I bet he also knew how to read Tarot cards!
