Review of The Klansman

The Klansman (1974)
Gratuitous
16 August 2001
I watched this movie hoping that Marvin could give it the touch of class he seemingly brought to every movie he ever starred in. Unfortunately the movie's pacing, cutting, actors, and plot are so poor, Marvin's sauve and tough presence seems horribly out of place -- as inappropriate (and troubling) as, say, Andy Warhol's appearance on The Love Boat. So many important, talented people in this film's credits: Sam Fuller, Terence Young, Richard Burton, Marvin. How come they couldn't do better?
