      Steve D There is no reason to care about any of it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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?" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member ok period pic/comedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Alan Alda's best performance of his career, also with Patrick McGoohan as a cagey ATF agent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
