Gary Busey character should have asked permission to fix heroin.....and then should have picked up his trash.....corrections is a racket.....??? So the parole Officer dosent care .
It always seemed to me that they would have caught up to Max fairly quick. He told the parole officer he was seeing that chick from the unemployment office, plus they could have looked up his old criminal associates. I don't think he would have made it to the jewelry heist before they caught him.
For an interesting story: google Theresa Russell ( the lead actress.... Hoffman's girl) and Pete Townshend....in his memoir he talks about being obsessed with her based on the movie Bad Timing.....
Dustin Hoffman was very underappreciated in these kinds of roles. He may not have been as intense or machismo as deniro or Pacino. But he found ways inside himself his version of that persona without caricaturing it. Some actors would over compensate because of their height, size, voice. But Hoffman masterfully always found a way to become the character he was playing even if it was outside of his range. It takes a high level of intelligence and intuition. I remember Kubrick said about Nicholson, he had a quality you can’t teach and that is playing intelligence.
The 1970's , when men were men . . . and robbed jewellery stores, without fear of contradiction, without fear of all the GBH of the ear hole from the wife! Easy money!
Stupenda pellicola, certo non è chissà che cosa ma comunque è una interessante pellicola di genere crimine, ci sono degli errori come il fatto che Massimo dice all'ufficiale per la libertà vigilata che la camera d'albergo costa 17 dollari a settimana. Tuttavia, quando inizialmente inizia ad affittarlo, accetta il prezzo di 18 dollari a settimana, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
This is 70s soft porn .. The aggressive older man and the ex convict young stud , when he's checking for marks on his arm ! Looks and sounds sexual too me . Maybe not Dustin Hoffman is so damn handsome in this picture !
Dustin Hoffman is an unconventionally handsome short fella with a suave voice. He's got a "something", really, my mom used to crush on this guy when younger. To her, he looked hotter than Tom Cruise in Rain Man 😂
Did he ask if she was white?I read a book a long time ago called The Catalogue of Cool and they named this movie as having the coolest cast of actors.Walsh, Busey, Harry Dean Stanton and Theresa Russell.I can't argue with that!
