This film has finally been remastered by Film Masters, and it looks very, very good. They have included both the TV version and the theater version which contain a small amount of extra footage.
This is a very underrated film and has a lot of negative reviews, but hey, I enjoyed it. Johnny Cash is an insane criminal named Johnny Cabot.
Cabot is hired by Fred Dorella (Vic Tayback) to be a part of his small town bank robbery. Cabot is orderd to hold the wife of the bank vice president hostage in order to get him to allow a $70,000 robbery to take place.
The woman, Nancy Wilson (Cay Forester) is basically unhappy in her marriage, but she discovers from the sadistic acts of Cabot, that her life really isn't too bad.
Her husband Ken (Donald Woods) is forced to give into the robbers' demands. However things do not work out well for Dorella at the bank after he is recognised by an employee.
Everything falls apart and things turn out badly for Cabot after he attempts to kidnap the Wilsons' son played by a very young Ron Howard. The child manages to pull a fast one on Cabot and bring about his demise.
The performances all are very good, and I just don't understand all the tearing apart of this movie, but I guess it isn't for everyone.
The Blu-ray presentation is very good nd I'm glad this film finally got an improvment. Recommended!!
