This movie was a classic crime thriller directed by Don Siegel and starring Walter Matthau and Joe Don Baker, with supporting roles filled by Andy Robinson, Felicia Farr and John Vernon. Released in 1973, it was one of Matthau’s lesser known movies I suspect, but in my mind one of his best. Baker is also great as the amoral hit man, while Vernon in a fairly small part plays it perfectly. This is one of my favorite movies and it all fits together perfectly, with Siegel giving hints about what is to come all throughout the movie. I’m constantly amazed that this movie isn’t more well known, though from what I’ve gathered it was well-respected. How do you feel about this movie?
