Better than expected..., 17 December 2006

Had this one laying in the to watch pile for the last year. It finally made it to the top and I threw it in the DVD. With a title like that I had no idea what I was going to get. Was I surprised! The credits pop up and the cast includes Anthony Quinn, Carol Ohmart, Arthur Franz and Kathyrn Grant. Quinn plays a former pro-football player who has fallen on hard times. He owes money all over town and is down to rolling drunks for a few bucks. He gathers what few friends he has left and goes looking for a score. What starts out as a simple roll job turns into a kidnapping. Quinn is quite good as the ex-jock who just can't deal with being a nobody. Carol Ohmart plays the kidnap victim and Franz her man. Kathyrn Grant is very good as the last hanger-on from Quinn's glory days. She has been around the block so often she says "I have 40,000 miles on me". Check out the other IMDb review who nails it better than I do. Worth catching if you can find it.
