Synopsis A man becomes unstuckiin timeiin theifilm that becameia classic. This is the story of Billy Pilgrim who is ordinary in almost every respect but one: he has come unstuck in time and jumps back and forth in his life with no control over where he is going next. Part of one morning he might spend on a distant planet Tralfamadore with sexy movie bombshell Montana Wildhack, and at the same time be in a ditch in Belgium in World War II where he is set upon by GI's Paul Lazzaro and Roland Weary, and then captured by German soldiers. Then Billy finds himself on his honeymoon night with his bride, the overweight, but rich Valencia Merble. Back in the war, Billy is marching with other prisoners, when he is pulled from the line to pose for pictures for a German press photographer. And so it goes on, from past, to present, to future, until finally realizes that in order to survive even to his death which, again, jumping around in time, he watches in Philadelphia, he must concentrate on the good things and ignore te bad in life.

Customer Review A Superior Film - 3 out of 5  (6/14/1999) This movie is not as "weird" as the plot description sounds. Billy Pilgrim floats back and forth through his life, as the film contrasts his horrific World War II experiences as a POW with his later life as an upwardly mobile (but clearly unhappy and lonely) suburban optometrist, who is finally liberated (in a way) by aliens. This has a remarkably contemporary feel for a movie made in 1972. Although there are no extras and there's nothing special about the audio and video, this is a first-rat   more >>
