Viewing Notes
Glad to find another Michael Winner flick on streaming. Nice to get access to these to view because I’d like just buy it from Kino Lorber sight unseen (due to the cast) and be mildly disappointed. It’s okay with some wild ass car stunts. The car stunts are really the main reason to view this.
The cast is stacked but everyone is just going thru the motions ‘cept OJ Simpson who was still proving he was worthy to be an actor. Sophia Loren and James Coburn are always nice to look at but kinda just there in a screenplay that needed a little more punch beyond the car stunts. ofc I love Eli Wallach but he gets so little screen time. Anthony Franciosa (Tenebre) looks real good, lean and mean, but again so little time onscreen. tbh he looked familiar but I couldn’t place it bc he is so slender and fit.
Overall, one to watch but not one to buy.
