Mickey One (1965)
Considered ahead of its time â and perhaps it still is â this unusual drama, inspired by the French New Wave, brought Warren Beatty and producer-director Arthur Penn together for the first time â two years before their landmark Bonnie and Clyde. Beatty stars as a Detroit night club comic who incurs the wrath of The Mob (he doesnât know why) and flees to Chicago to start life anew â but still living in fear. But the plot is secondary to the look and sound of this film (a favorite of Martin Scorsese), which boasts a score by Eddie Sauter and stunning photography by Academy Award®-winner Ghislain Cloquet (1980, Best Cinematography, Tess). Alexandra Stewart, Hurd Hatfield, Franchot Tone and Jeff Corey co-star in this one-of-a-kind motion picture. Incidentally, much of it was shot in what is now Oprah Winfreyâs studio. Newly remastered.
Price: 17.49
