4.0 out of 5 stars This Movie Should Be On DVD!, October 14, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Outlaw Blues [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched the movie Out Law Blues and I liked this movie! It is about an ex convict played by Peter Fonda who has a talant for songwriting but is taken advantage of by a singer who steals some of his songs which turn out to be major hits and Susan St. James plays the backup singer who helps him get even! Thsi is a good movie and I want to see it put on DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cameo Role in Outlaw Blues, January 4, 2004

By 

Ann Osborn (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Outlaw Blues [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I throughly enjoyed the movie Outlaw Blues. Maybe because I had a small cameo role in it. I was in nursing school at the time 1977 at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, Texas. They needed some protesters to hold signs that said Save Bobby. We were actually in school that day in our blue nursing student dress uniforms and we got to partcipate in the protest sceneand chanted Save Bobby, I am the one at the end with the short black hair holding one of the protest signs. There were two or three of us doing the scene. This is why the movie is especially special to me, something to share with my children and grandchildren.
It is twenty five years down the road and I remember the movie like it was only yesterday and yes I did graduate to become a Registered Nurse.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Outlaw Blues (DVD)

This is a film that's hard to dislike but it's hard to recommend particularly at it's prohibitive price tag. Essentially, it's the cinematic equivalent of a Chinese meal which is to say easily forgettable. Some sporadic chuckles but not that many. Susan Saint James and Peter Fonda do make an engaging screen couple, though. If you can get this one as a rental do so.
