Erwin C. Dietrich is the reason this lands

For Self Service Girls (1975), Erwin C. Dietrich feels like a 8/10. There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. So the rating is less about one scene and more about the overall aftertaste.
