Peppard doesn't fuck around - he evades arrest and proves his own innocence by going to the murderer/rapist's mom's place where the killer is staying (so what if killer's mom looks the same age as the killer) saving himself huge attorney's fees potentially and a possible wrongful conviction. These independent spirit films are inspiring. That's the same reason I like the Dirty Harry and the Escape from New York/LA movies so much. Thanks again for the reco - I enjoyed the film.
Yeah, that movie is very simple and straightforward, but it has a lot of complexity to it.
It's so realistic how all the people that have known you for 14 years will turn on you in an instant.
His wife is literally killed in his apartment, and nobody gave a shit, lol.
He literally lost every partner and friend overnight.
They would have lynched him if it was 100 years prior.
It really showed how corrupt and phony the system really is.
Especially the so called "Justice" System.
Lucky it was the 60s.
In many states today they would have jailed him for resisting arrest and obstructing justice not to mention some other charges.
