The Double

Double1

A little yacht J&B.

Double2

Drop whatever you’re doing and grab one of those bottles.

Double3

One for the lady and two for me.

Verson Jetorix: “Languid, agreeable giallo with a primo cast, nudity, murder, and good tunes.  In other words, beautiful shallow people drinking J&B in exotic locales; duplicitous and amoral – 70s Italian style.  Now for a presentation more respectful; a third generation dupe, cropped square with Greek subtitles, doesn’t cut it.”

The Detective

Detective1Detective1a

Lee is really happy to see Frank. Frank is really happy to see J&B.

Detective2

The homophobic detectives drink any whiskey other than J&B when it’s available.

Verson Jetorix: “Very dark and strange on the one hand and child’s play on the other, this serious Sinatra cop thriller kept surprising me, at least. I thought William Windom was going to raise the “Kinski” level with just a photograph and a voice recording but he showed up at the end for some of his typical primo work. The rest of the cast is boffo too: Lee Remick, Meeker, Klugman, Duvall, Bisset.  But Musante sucks royally.”
