Kick-Back Friday: #59
Film noir in sunny California: John Boorman's Point Blank (1967).
A double-crossed thief, Walker (Lee Marvin), is after the guy who stole his wife and his share of a cash heist in this very conscientiously (perhaps too conscientiously) photographed story of vengence. The film gains steam after an initial, wooden performance by Sharon Acker as Marvin's wife. With Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, and Carroll O'Connor.
