Gangbuster

Ray Lovelock in a contemplative J&B mood.

It’s right in front of you, for crying out loud.

Time for your morning J&B.

Verson Jetorix: “AKA Gangbuster. Ray Lovelock is hired by Mel Ferrer to deliver a couple of valuable (stolen) paintings and exchange them for cash. Ray delivers the paintings and on the way back with the money is robbed by several hooligans. This bodes ill for Ray but things may not be as they seem. This Italian crime flick plays more like a film noir than an action thriller. Ray is really put thru the paces here; he’s subjected to multiple beatings and never seems to have the upper hand. Just surviving is a victory in this dark entry. Features Gabriele Tinti and a bald John Steiner as an icy hitman.”

Return of the Exorcist

Ladies who lunch. And drink. It must be Blursday.

Note: This capture is from the Amazon Prime version.

Verson Jetorix: “The brother of a nun succumbs to possession by a demon. Exorcist Richard Conte is called in to rectify the situation in the closing minutes of the film. This mess of an Italian rip-off features nudity and low-budget special effects, but it is slow going the rest of the time.”
