hardboiled/noir Elliot Gould movie. I'm not sure how easy it
is to find, but it's worth the quest. It's an early script by
Curtis Hansen who would go on to co-write the screenplay and
direct L.A. CONFIDENTIAL many years later."
Meant to reply to this at the time (don't think I did, if so,
sorry for the repeat). Looked it up. It's coming out on DVD
in April. A terribly underrated film unknown to most. It's
modest in its goals, but really achieves them (a trait I'm
coming to appreciate more and more these days). I was so
blown away by it when I saw it during that mere week or two
it was out that I gathered up some friends and went back to
the the theater the very next night. Hope it holds up.
Oh yeah, it's got a '70s violent scene to rival the coke
bottle scene in Long Goodbye.
