If this has something to do with Zachary Scott's filmography, I'm outta here.

Uhh, not quite. Actually it was Frank Thring as Pontius Pilate to Charlton Heston as Judah Ben-Hur. Pilate was addressing Ben-Hur by his _Roman_ name as adoptive son of the Jack Hawkins character.
But that's close enough for guv'ment work. Your thread.

Didn't mean to paralyze the thread. That's Chill Wills to Glenn Ford in *The Rounders*, (1965)
Here's another:
"Where there is greatness -- great government, great power, or even great passion, error, also, is great. Long life, young Arrius, and the good sense to enjoy it."
Who and in what?

Ablolutely right, passman. There is a lot of action, a lot of character interaction, and a lot of humor in this story. If you get a chance to see it, I think it will be worth your time. Thread's yours.

One reply and right up next to 100 views. I feel very lonesome sometimes. Giving away the shop now. Setting and filming sites were in pre-flood New Orleans. Role call, starting with the three foreign born actors:
The FBI Agent was a woman, previously seen playing "Susan Stanton". The double-crossing kidnapper currently is a series star as "Patrick Jane". The New Orleans City Detective was previously seen as "Elliott Stanton." The stalwart Americans in support roles included "L.B. Jones
and "Deep Throat"
And this was an entertaining film. I really wish somebody besides me had seen it.

The betrayed girlfriend makes her getaway just ahead of the of the arrival of the police, while the victim is still being tortured by the husband's thugs, and the husband is listening on the phone.
She turns back and kills the torturer, gets away again. Corrupt police arrive, and have plans to still turn the victim over to the husband. The honest detective and the FBI Agent, traveling together, have an auto accident. and the detective goes on ahead. The Agent arrives just as the corrupt cops are going to take the victim away from the detective. They back down when the Agent's credentials are produced and get themselves out of there.
In a "6 months later" scene, the inside man who betrayed them all is sunning himself on a tropical hotel's beach. He is approached by his former girlfriend, who acts like a waitress
delivering a drink. She has a silenced .22 cal pistol under her tray. She walks away with his
room key, leaving him with a discreet dribble of blood coming out from under the cover over his face.

The central people among the kidnappers are a couple who have a background in hotel shakedowns. She allows a mark to get her into his room, he then breaks in on them and shakes the mark down for everything he has on him. It is _he_ who suggests the kidnapping; it is _he_ who then pushes it up to an earlier date; it is _he_ who is cat's paw for the vendictive husband. And then it is he who grabs the ransom money and gets the hell outtathere, leaving his girlfriend and the others to face the consequences with the approching authorities. The plan is for the victim himself to wind up in the hands of the husband's thugs. But for the betrayed girlfriend, there
are lines she will not cross.

In 1967, James Garner played Wyatt Earp in another retelling of the Toombstone / Cochise County / OK Corral conflict: *Hour Of The Gun*. In 1988, Garner again played Earp in *Sunset* -- ageing and retired now and gone to Hollywood, where there is interest in making a film about him. There, he teams up with Tom Mix (Bruce Willis) and they solve a murder mystery of the type that Spade, Marlowe and Archer were always getting into.

Jenetico;
There is confusion here; but understandable due to similar scene in two movies. The "captain's wife" killing was an event in *Prizzi's Honor*, which I greatly enjoyed. The present case involved
a woman turning up unexpectedly at her lover's apartment. Her lover is the kidnap victim and her
vendictive surviving husband is rabidly following an agenda for revenge. It developes that the husband set up the kidnapping, thus causing his wife's death.
The Southern city where the story is set was also the filming location. They make use of the city's transit system for a harrowing sequence about delivery of the demanded ransom. The English actor playing a city detective is, well, just so-so in his American Southerner accent.
But, bless his heart, he tries.

Need a ruling, junior;
Is 1998's *U.S. Marshals* considered to be a sequel to 1993's *The Fugitive* ? Tommy Lee Jones plays Marshal Gerard in both films, and has a couple of the same people on his team in both, but the stories are not connected in any other way.

In 1986's *Chopping Mall*, Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov portray Paul And Mary Bland, evidently
having gotten away with their serial-killing spree when they played the same characters in 1982's
*Eating Raoul*.
