St. Ives

I had a hard time navigating the story here but watching Bronson is always fun and watching Jacqueline Bisset is a test of will-power to resist picking up the remote and freezing every frame she's in just to wallow in her foxiness. John Houseman speaking in measured tones like Alfred Hitchcock plays a rich old man who hires Bronson to retrieve some stolen ledgers. Jacqueline is Houseman's right-hand woman. This is a good little detective flick with many twists and turns. There are scenes in a deli that I liked as well as scenes that take place at a drive-in theater which really brought me back to my younger days. How I miss the drive-in! The music also nails the time in which this film was made-very early 70's blaxploitation scratchy guitar. A bonus feature is included with the DVD in which we get to see behind the scenes/on the set.                                         9/3/07
