Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
Ivan Passer’s “Born to Win” is a well made character driven drama from the “New Hollywood” era. George Segal stars as J, a heroin addict whose hustles cause him to continuously spiral downward. Fun City Editions have given the film an attractive release.
The Hot Rock is an enjoyable caper film with engaging performances by both Robert Redford and George Segal. Twilight Time have an immaculate transfer for the release.
The Quiller Memorandum is a great excuse to watch George Segal, Alec Guinness, and Max Von Sydow in an espionage film together. With striking cinematography by Erwin a Hiller, the film shines from a new 4K transfer for Twilight Time.
George Segal and Glenda Jackson Star in this clever bittersweet comedy about an affair between a Brit and an American.
