Clu Gulager stole this movie
He was great in this picture its a shame his career never really took off
shareTotally agree! Such a Quentin Tarantino esq performance. What a funny version the 1964 one is if you have seen the great noir classic with Ava Gardner and Burt Lancaster. This 1964 version is cool for so many reasons but especially for the acting. And not always in a good way. Reagan's death scene was wooden to say the least. Gee how different history could be if he had been a better actor. Marvin is so cool, so like his wonderful M Squad detective. Angie Dickinson can't hold a candle to Ava's performance and while I loved Cassavetes art movies from years back, he's another wooden actor.
But Clu... Such a stellar performance and hard to take your eye off what his character was doing. Why didn't he become a bigger star?
Oh, Angie is great in this. But it's a totally different picture from the Ava Gardner film.

Reagan was a very good actor, in this and all of his movies. If he had chosen to continue his acting career, we would have been deprived of his stellar terms as Governor of California and President of the U.S.
I'll bet you think John Wayne and Charlton Heston are bad actors, too. It's funny.
