RARA-AVIS: Phenix City Story

Sun, 20 Sep 1998 00:10:11 +0100 Watched this movie that was pretty much 10 minute egg. I had watched it
before a while ago. I'm still surprised at the level of violence in a 1955
movie. Director Phil Karlson showed the Phenix City gansters in the true
light of complete amoral monsters. And to fight such monsters took
tremendous guts. It starred two great actors, Richard Kiley and John
McIntyre as well as host of character actors. It has appeared on Encore's
Mystery channel.

One interesting note, and I believe was it cut the first time I saw it, was
the first 13 minutes is taken up by a reporter interviewing the real people
who were involved. I would recommend, any who are interested in seeing
this, taping it and going past the interviews, watching them later. They
give to much of the story away.
