From Amazon.com:
From Elaine May, director of The Heartbreak Kid, comes Mikey & Nicky, a compelling crime thriller with a powerhouse cast, including John Cassavetes (Rosemary's Baby, The Killers), Peter Falk (TV's Columbo) and Ned Beatty (Deliverance, Cookie's Fortune). Nicky (Cassavetes) has embezzled a fortune from his Mafia bosses and is on the run. Nicky's only friend, Mikey (Falk) tries to help him escape; or will he lead him into a trap? Shot in a gritty, improvisational style, Mikey & Nicky is one of the most original and riveting crime films of the 1970s.

  • 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!"

  • 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)

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • GREAT SCENE, thank you Peter Falk, thanks for posting this movie...

  • RIP Legend

  • RIP Peter Falk

  • R.I.P Peter Falk...this is a great scene.

  • 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

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

  • btw--my friend played with Jaco in the eighties and said he was an asshole...
