The Kegans are an American dynasty. They own oil… banks… beautiful women… even presidents. They have the power to make fortunes and destroy careers. One man will inherit it all. If he lives. In the mesmerizing & maze-like satirical thriller Winter Kills , the younger brother of a US President attempts to unravel the complicated conspiracy behind his JFK-like sibling’s assassination. Writer-Director William Richert slyly adapts a novel by The Manchurian Candidate’s Richard Condon. Jeff Bridges and John Huston headline a sprawling ensemble that includes Anthony Perkins, Eli Wallach, Sterling Hayden, Dorothy Malone, Tomas Milian, Toshiro Mifune, and Ralph Meeker.
“An excellent conspiracy thriller of unusual blackness and wit, from a novel by Richard Condon, author of The Manchurian Candidate and Prizzi’s Honour. A dazzling cast is assembled for [Winter Kills’] helter-skelter narrative” – Time Out
“You don’t happen upon movies this likable, this ridiculous, or this impossible to describe. Winter Kills isn’t exactly a comedy, but it’s funny. And it isn’t exactly serious, but it takes on the serious business of the Kennedy assassination.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times
