Excellent performances, great dialogue. Richard Dreyfuss delights as Moses Wine and F. Murray Abraham shines as the elusive Howard Eppis (this reviewer's introduction to Abraham's work). Classic gumshoe moments and political intrigue. Good advice (how to avoid notice while tailing a suspect) and a superb example on evading a touchy subject (how was Wine's arm broken?). Wine's kids (visitation weekend) as junior-PI sidekicks, murder, migrant labor issues. And throw in an insideous little song. Fun stuff.

Pair with FIELD OF DREAMS for a where-have-the-underground-heroes-gone double bill.

A favorite flick and long overdue for a remastered widescreen release on DVD.

... A great political thriller! Richard Dreyfuss gives awonderful performance as Moses Wine, a gumshoe who must find HowardEppis, a 60's radical, whose leading a right-wing conspiracy toassassinate a political candidate. A brilliant 70's whodunit mysterywith 60's themes. Good supporitng cast by Susan Anspach, BonnieBedelia, John Lithgow, and F. Murray Abraham. You'll enjoy this movie!A must-see for political buffs!

Fast delivery. The condition wasn't quite as described though. It was labeled as 'very good' but i think just 'good' is accurate. I am a video editor so maybe my qualifications are a bit stringent, but it did have a few lines and pops which dropped the quality in my opinion. Overall a good purchase. Hadn't seen this movie in 30 years so it was well worth the price.
