Synopsis:
Gregory Ulas Powell is a disturbed ex-con who recruits Jimmy Lee “Youngblood” Smith, a petty thief, as his partner in crime. Powell panics one night when the two of them are pulled over by a pair of cops for broken brake lights. Powell decides to kidnap the cops, and Smith, as always, reluctantly goes along with Powell’s crazy scheme. The group drives out to a deserted onion field in Bakersfield, California, and one officer is shot while the other escapes. The remainder of the film explores the nature of the American justice system, as well as the devastating psychological effects of this event, and the trial on the surviving officer.

The post Harold Becker – The Onion Field (1979) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

With the vivid memory of his long-gone childhood friends Max, Patsy, and Cockeye etched in his mind, his ferociously loyal partners-in-crime during their rise to prominence in New York’s Prohibition-era Lower East Side, the defeated, penniless, and guilt-ridden former gangster David “Noodles” Aaronson returns to Manhattan. Not knowing what to expect on his mission to shed light on his opaque past, grizzled Noodles reunites with his only living friend Fat Moe after 35 haunted years of self-exile. However, the relentless, piercing sound of culpability stands in the way of finding closure, as the inscrutable content of a well-worn leather suitcase further complicates matters. And now, against the backdrop of a torn conscience, the sad, bittersweet recollections of more than 50 years of love, death, and everything in-between become inextricably intertwined, leading to even more puzzling questions. But what are a man’s options when he is left with nothing?

synopsis
Set in January 1969, Bill (James Woods) is living in a remote cabin in Connecticut with his girlfriend Martha and their little child, and Martha’s stepfather (Patrick McVey) living nearby. They are spending a quiet winter Sunday in their cosy house when they get an unexpected visit from two of Bill’s old army acquaintances, Mike (Steve Railsback) and Tony (Chico Martinez). Mike and Tony have recently left the army themselves, and it soon becomes apparent that they are not just making a friendly call. As the men discuss their experiences in Vietnam, we start to wonder what happened, and why Mike and Tony have come to visit Bill.

trivia

— the first fictional film to deal seriously with the Vietnam war

— screenplay by Chris Kazan (son of director Elia Kazan)

— shot at Elia Kazan’s house

— feature film debut of both Steve Railsback and James Woods

— the film was inspired by Kazan’s wife Barbara Loden’s only film, the critically-acclaimed Wanda (1970)

— shot on a budget of just $60,000. Elia Kazan, then in his 60s was losing interest in directing, having made only one other film in the previous nine years (The Arrangement starring Faye Dunaway). Kazan liked to say that The Visitors was made for one-tenth of the salary paid just to one person (Dunaway) on his previous film.

— the New York Jet Baltimore Colt Superbowl Game shown on TV places the action of the film in January 1969
