SICKS6SIX S Glen Fords first starring role. A film set during the depression with overtones of Grapes 🍇 of Wrath and the Oklahoma dust bowl. Ford sets out to start a new life in Arizona but things don't go t plan. A good supporting cast and a clever story. A bit predictable but still worth watching all the same. I see the audience scored it at only 20% perhaps a Steven Seagal film might have been more up their street as this as far away from a shoot them up and crash the car film as it's possible to get. Taken from book of the same name. Many stars of the fture are in it and Ford only received fourth billing as up until now no one knew his name. It's more than a rainy tuesday afternoon film but it's not the Saturday night main feature. Friday with a pizza 🍕 I'd say. . . Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Routine programmer of note as Glenn Ford's screen debut but little else. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member a strange kinda western of sorts Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
