Quote:
Naive young bank teller Betty Parrish falls for her tennis instructor who is living a separate life as a male hustler and small time drug dealer. He gets in over his head and as the films title would indicate is murdered triggering Betty to start poking around Mike’s other life to find out what happened and who he was.

After 2 failed test screenings Warner Brothers told director/writer/producer James Bridges that he and editor Dede Allen were to recut the film shortening/removing key scenes and losing a said to be confusing non-linear timeline. However, the film released and presented here is an approved cut that still works well. The original cut of the film was in the possession of Bridges’ partner and associate producer Jack Larson at the time of his death, current whereabouts are unknown but it hasn’t been screened publicly since the test screenings in Sausalito and Walnut Creek.

Criminally underappreciated and misunderstood MIKE’S MURDER is one of the greatest Neo-Noir films and one of those rare movies from the 1980s that feel like they should have been made in the 1970s, featuring a career best performance by Debra Winger and Paul Winfield playing an augmented version of himself MIKE’S MURDER takes a look beneath the surface of Los Angeles’ 1980s gay underbelly while maintaining a dream like almost fantasy atmosphere as Winger goes deeper into the rabbits hole. Well worth a watch; a personal favorite.

The post James Bridges – Mike’s Murder (1984) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

First time writer-director James Bridges shows a pitch-perfect ear and an observant, affectionate eye in this beguiling time capsule of clashing cultures and values during the Age of Aquarius. The film is also a showcase for its luminous leading lady, the ne plus ultra of hippie goddesses, Barbara Hershey “Seagull”.

From the IMDB:
“An upper-class, childless couple in Southern California ‘hires’ a comely hippie to bear the husband’s baby (this being 1970, she conceives the old-fashioned way); soon, the straight-laced twosome are drawn into the young woman’s world. Interesting, insightful, provocative (for its time), the movie does follow a typical by-the-numbers pattern (with an ‘open minded’ boyfriend, jealousies and friction on all sides), but writer-director James Bridges is very tasteful and unhurried. He also gets some lovely shots of Barbara Hershey at her chestnut-haired, go-go-booted best (my favorites were her run across the street at the beginning, a stunning glimpse of her through a rain-soaked car window, and under the sheets in bed). The incredible finale refuses to compromise, and even though the medical aspects of the story are dated, the emotions are still on-target.”
