Title: NUTTY MOVIE OF A PITIFUL (!) KILLER
Review: On-location shooting of sleazy streets and bars are nice---but there's only a few minutes worth; the rest is pure 60s, pre-DEATH WISH pity-killers nonsense."He's a good boy" the hoodlum priest tells the govenor, about a young killer...! The priest bad mouths the victim by saying he was going after the killer with a crowbar---never mind that the victim with the crowbar was defending his property against the killer who was burglarizing his place!!!Professional critics, like Andrew Sarris, actually like this movie a lot more than DEATH WISH and DIRTY HARRY----though only because this movie is against capital punishment, and pitys killers and other criminals as being misunderstood.From the director of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
