Not sure if my title will pass muster. Lee Marvin, a masculine guy out for revenge pursues his money and perhaps, a woman. This is a late 60's movie that hits certain buttons for action, attractive women and the little guy against the "establishment." Marvin is his usually understated self. Tough and cool. A decent plot as Marvin chases various, typical bad guys to get what is owed to him. The direction is what one would expect from a movie from this era. The cinematography is solid. The cast is wonderful. Carroll O'Connor before he was Archie. Angie Dickinson talking about powerful men using their influence over her. The movie is a reminder of better times for me, when my Dad used to get candy for me and my brothers for some fun. I guess when you're getting old, a movie like this is sufficient. The pyrotechnics, contrived action, sexual bs and the usual attractions of 2023 don't entertain me. San Francisco before Gov Newsom?
