Viewing Notes

TCM did a Gene Hackman mini-marathon to celebrate his 95th birthday, focusing on his films from the 1970’s, and this is another great one. Hackman is terrific. A young Melanie Griffith made her film debut here, and a young James Woods plays his usual sleazeball character. The climax of the film is fantastic.
