Football weekend. Town full of Gators fans, making crowded streets and bars, and local Talk Radio drumming it up. The out-of-town gunmen, weapons merchants, thieves and Federal cops make it a volatile mix.

Her father, Scottish, is a selfish verbal abuser, a drunk and a womanizer. There is a shouting argument, then she hears his end of a phone conversation with his current girlfriend. "Ae was busy here with a problem with me wee daughter. She's just seven, y'know." (She's in her twenties, but she serves as an excuse when he's neglecting his women.) The actor in this role, also a Scot, had a successful career in action roles.

The four performers mentioned earlier -- All UK actors who have given Oscar performances in USA competition.

Tall, hunky young cop, squad-car partner to the female officer, mentioned earlier, blunders into a situation where he finds welcome. Goes into better-paying work as a male stripper in women's bars. This actor currently has a role in a sitcom that has been around for several years now. The actress playing the female cop works sometimes as a standup comic.

Mid 1990s film, supposedly a remake of a 1940s film. More like a re-use of the '40s film's title.

Rebooting: Import from Britain's Independent Television (ITV). USA running time 90 min, adapted from a miniseries. Late 1960s. Showcase for a rising young actress, who is still working. Theme: Men's treatment of women. The young woman's experiences with her working-class father. Then a fellow office employee, then an older suitor -- a barrister with a Title. Three prominent British names in these roles, and a fourth big name as narrator.

Roper, William -- Corin Redgrave in *A Man For All Seasons*

Scene: An arrested felon, in cuffs, is taken to a police cruiser to be put in the back seat. The usual gesture of helping him duck his head as he gets into the vehicle. But this time the officer slams the perp's head against the doorframe as he sits down. Film ??? Edited by: flashback42 on Apr 12, 2012 4:28 PM

skipper, want to solve this one or post further clues?

At just about 160 Views, nowhere else to go on this one. Lefors was a legendary tracker, hired by the railroads to hunt down the title characters in *Butch Cassedy and the Sundance Kid*. If he is seen at all, it is in a distance shot focused on the posse following Butch and The Kid. In the final scene, they charged out from cover into a hail of gunfire from the Bolivian Army, only after deciding Lefors wasn't out there too. Open thread.

Sourced from a novel by a syndicated humor columnist based in Miami, who had also created a sitcom based on his family. Would you believe that commentaries on this film sometimes resorted to the term "chaotic" ??

*144* "Good news, girls, we're a hit! The Real Housewives of East St. Louis has been renewed for a second season!"

That's it. You're up.

The hero: A part-time father. out of favor with his son because of finances. Unacceptable, right down to the car he drives.

Demi Moore in *St. Elmo's Fire* (1985)

*Massive Applause for the Petit Grande Dame*

Those gun runners have acquired a nuclear bomb. Some stupid but resourceful thieves think the damn thing is a case full of gold.

"Young lady, I am certain we can help you out. Just let me take a look at your present policies, and I can find the best way to do it. Pacific All Risk Insurance is the best in the business, and we never let our policyholders down! By the way, our double indemnity rider is very reasonable."

Back from page four. Is this considered a viable Thread anymore? *47 Ronin, Part I* Japanese, made during WWII, partly serving as propaganda, celebrating the heroic Samari past. As the title suggests, there was a sequel.

*Cry of the City* ???

Homeland Security agents. They get a lot of their information from The Learning Channel.

last dialogue "Ready? OK, when we get outside and we get to the horses, whatever happens just remember one thing... hey, wait a minute." "What?" "You didn't see Lefors out there, did you?" "Lefors? No." "Oh, good. For a moment there, I thought we were in trouble."

International gun runners.

*143* "You bet I can tend to my knittin'. How 'bout you?"

Bingo!, Sixes. The SPFX are good, and yet they remain cheesy at the same time. Strother Martin never waisted my time, and I really got a kick out of his one star turn. He was a favorite of director Sam Peckinpah, and they worked together often. Sixes' thread, after some 140 Views.
