The Last Run

It was his first job in 9 years. Drive a young killer from Spain to the south of France. No one told him about the extra passenger, the girl or the seven men trying to kill them all. A retired getaway driver is recruited for one last job… but it could end up being his last. Replacing original director John Huston, Richard Fleischer helms a gritty, hardboiled thriller starring George C. Scott, Tony Musante, and Trish Van Devere that features excellent cinematography from frequent Ingmar Bergman collaborator Sven Nykvist.

Rustlers’ Rhapsody

To a lawless land he brought truth, justice, some fancy riding, and wonderful outfits. Tom Berenger stars as singing cowboy Rex O’Herlihan in writer/director Hugh Wilson’s hilarious homage to the films of such classic cowboy stars as Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. O’Herlihan is plucked from a black & white B Western and finds himself in a modern color film, running into a series of comedic calamities alongside co-stars Andy Griffith, G.W. Bailey, Marilu Henner and Fernandy Rey.

“Rustlers’ Rhapsody, a sort of kinder, gentler Blazing Saddles, offers a gleefully skewed take on everything from singing cowboy movies to spaghetti westerns.” – Jon Nalick, Los Angeles Times

“Berenger is excellent, Griffith is delightful, and Wayne (son of John Wayne) is hilarious.” – TV Guide
