138: Saint Jack (1979) and The Spanish Prisoner (1997)
Manage episode 361133858 series 2901289
We celebrate Ben Gazzara - sort of. First up is "Saint Jack" (1979), a wonderful Peter Bogdanovich film that seems to be written for Gazzara. The story of an American wanting nothing more than to open a brothel in Singapore. We loved this film and agree that it is as underrated as they come. Our second feature is not really a Ben Gazzara film, but he's in it for a brief time. David Mamet's "The Spanish Prisoner" (1997) is another con-artist yarn that is boring, miscast and extremely predictable.
Next, chess films with "Fresh" (1994) and "Critical Thinking" (2020).
