This was one of Jeff Bridges best film roles. Definitely an off beat movie which generated little interest at its time of release. Any fan of film or movie making would love this. Strong supporting cast adds to things with veteran actor Andy Griffith almost stealing the show, so to speak. Griffith has a really different role then people are use to seeing. Basically, he is a cad, user, back stabber, crook and con artist, but aside from all that, deep down he is a nice guy. Alan Arkin overplays his part and the usually outstanding actor comes across almost cartoonist. Not really too sure why the movie never made it, but like I said, it was really off beat.
