HlS WlFE. HlS MISTRESS. HlS CAREER. A DEADLY TRAP.
ln 1986, John Frankenheimer the director of The Manchurian Candidate, Seconds and French Connection lI made the unIikeIy career move of working with schIockmeisters Cannon Films. Adapting EImore Leonard s novel of the same name, 52 Pick-Up s union brought about the perfect blend of high caIibre thrilIs and Cannon-grade trash.
Roy Scheider (Jaws, Cohen and Tate) plays a successful businessman whose Iife quickIy faIIs apart when a compromising videotape of him and his mistress (KeIIy Preston) becomes a tool for bIackmail. Unable to go to the police without compromising the politicaI career of his wife (Ann-Margret), he must take things into his own hands and deIve into a world of drugs, sleaze, pornography and snuff.
Co-starring Prince protégé Vanity and John GIover (who was described as the best, most reprehensibIe viIlain of the year by Roger Ebert), and featuring a host of cameos from the stars of the SiIver Age of Porn , 52 Pick-Up has been described by Leonard as his favourite big-screen adaptation of his works. |
