Viewing Notes

I bought this mainly because this is one of the early films shot by DP Dean Cundey, who’s a great cinematographer. Even though this is a low budget film it’s shot like a million bucks and looks excellent. The writing and acting are smart too. It’s always fun to see vets like Jack Elam and Dub Taylor on screen! One thing I didn’t know is that the original one-sheet poster art was done by Ralph McQuarrie. It looks amazing as you can see in the artwork for this entry.
