DEVIL'S 8 (1969) (SHOUT FACTORY)

Very interesting action film.

Christopher George stars as a Government agent named Ray Faulkner who recruits eight convicts to help take down a vicious moonshine operation. The convicts he rounds up are a mixed lot of crazed fighters, losers and bookworms.

The moonshine operations is run by a man named Burl, played by Ralph Meeker. There is plenty of violence and gunfights in this film, and once it gets going it never lets up.

The cast includes Fabian, Cliff Osmond, Tom Nardini, Leslie Parrish, Larry Bishop and Baynes Barron. I did notice that Lynda Day George has a brief role at the beginning of the film as a girlfriend of Government Faulkner. they were married in real life.

I cannot see how you'd not like this film. It has sexy women, action, violence and some pretty cool car chase scenes. Shout turned out a very good print of this film on their "Cult Classics Vol. 1" set of four movies on two discs.
