Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe movie was actually filmed in 1971 shortly after Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland had co-starred in the very different picture Klute (1971). The production required re-shoots and had a few delays and was not released anywhere until 1973. Fonda and Sutherland, who briefly had a real-life personal relationship around that time, were also both involved in "The FTA Show", a wartime entertainment gig which toured towns in the USA which had military bases nearby. The show was a satirical event protesting the Vietnam War. Several other people connected with 'Steelyard Blues' were also involved and this notably included actor Peter Boyle. The three also had just appeared in a feature film version of the show [See: FTA (1972)].
- GaffesDuring the scene at the airfield when Eagle is dressed as a soldier and is shooting arrows, he is heard saying "Up yours, Kraut!" but his lip movements clearly don't match the "up yours" part.

Commentaire à la une
Career criminal and demolition derby driver Jesse Veldini (Donald Sutherland) gets released from prison. His DA brother Frank Veldin (Howard Hesseman) just wants to keep him out of trouble. He reconnects with hooker/girlfriend Iris Caine (Jane Fonda) and his old friends. They decide to fix up a rundown PBY Catalina airplane. They do various petty crimes to finance the rebuild.
There is a confusing info dump early in the movie. This is trying to be an irreverent comedy but it's more quirky. It's down and out. I don't really know these characters' logic especially Jesse. He seems to be aimlessly searching for something that he doesn't even know. It's a bit muddled. It has the grim of 70's Oakland. I don't find this that much fun but these actors keep me interested. It's a borderline case.
