This is no "film by John Cassavetes" in the way the films are in which he directed, although he seems to have had a hand in the direction of this film as well. And this is no film in the "Cassavetes style" either, but a film influenced a lot by him. This is an Elaine May-film. Watch "The heartbreak kid" and you'll see this same unique, witty, slow, dreamlike direction of dialogue. May is to Cassavetes I think what Parajanov is to Tarkovsky: A unique genius inspired greatly by another one.

Well, I see everyone here praises Cassavetes but almost no one says anything about Peter Falk. :-(

Peter Falk is one of my favorite actors (I have several xD).

Sorry for my bad English.

Elaine May directed this film; she is using the Cassavetes style

Wow. This is an excellent movie. That scene alone has so much more to it than entire hollywood films.

Almosts puts Shakespeare in the shade; doesn't it remind you of other thoughtful moments in the graveyard?

Just read on my news earthlink news service that Peter has been diagnosed with Alzthimers and dementia.

Cassavetes is one of Scorcese's biggest influences and is equally talented but has much less critical acclaim. He deserves to have a few films on the AFI top 100 too. A mass audience has yet to embrace him though when they do I'm sure he'll become even more revered than he already is.

what an awesome movie this was.....so comforting to know others agree...

It is. As amazing a director as Cassavetes was, he was also a consummate actor.

My name is Kiki, and i was raped before i died. I use to enjoy pain and now i inflict it upon people. I was tortured and raped untill i could no longer breathe. Those meanies now suffer and die, and those who do not repost this to 5 videos will die too. i hate this 2 but i believe

At the strike of 12AM, those who did not repost this will die a horrible death after seeing a bloody face covered with long black hair. Those who repost this will receive a kiss from their crush

It´s quite a dark movie in theme, Nick is a fuck-up with a price on his head.

MissMael 4 years ago 2

Thanks for posting this...I never saw this movie but it's great seeing Falk and Cassavetes together post-Columbo! Anyone else who's a fan of Cassavetes as an actor...there's a great scene of him in "Whose Life Is It Anyway" that is posted here on YouTube.

On the DVD Talk site it says:

"In the beginning, Cassavetes was doing some of the shooting himself, which resulted in dailies where dozens of film rolls screened with no image on them at all!"

Classic!

I'm definitely buying the dvd, especially for the bonus material.

Thanks again.

Love this movie, especially the scene where Falk's watch is broken.

Cassavetes directed scenes? Which ones?

Please upload some of the special features! The DVD isn't available in Australia.

Nah, he took over Director of Photography for a while after May had driven the one she'd originally hired crazy with ridiculous demands (Note: I adore and respect Elaine May). It's all in the special features. Get a region-free DVD player my friend. Not hard or expensive in the age of the internet. Cheers.

You've got good taste.

Not sure if I want to past more of it. Buy the dvd. It has excellent bonus material (ie when they talk about the scenes that were directed by Cassavetes)
