Steve D 07/31/2023 There is no reason to care about any of it. See more 05/19/2014 Great little movie based on an Elmore Leonard story. Cast features a young Alan Alda in addition to strong performances by stalwarts Richard Widemark, Patrick Magoohan and Will Geer. Terrific character performance by Lee Hazelwood as Dual. Notable line: Magoohan as Frank Long addressing a bunch of moonshiners on a porch with "I'm looking for a John W. "Son" Martin. Am I at the right place or have I interrupted a prayer meeting?"
