Mad Dog Time was originally titled Trigger-Happy. A strange
and
wonderful script, a superb idea for a very original film, and
certainly
not Noir or hard-boiled in my opinion -- no matter how it ended
up.
Written and directed by Larry Bishop (as was another of his
original
works called Underworld) I thought it was poorly made,
emphasizing
outsized performances by actors on the verge of mugging and
never
delivering the inherent and unique style or quality suggested
by the
screenplays. And in this case the writer can't blame the
director,
although I think he has every reason to.
