Hal Ashby's Last Film
Ashby's final film adaptation of a popular crime novel features a complex character, Matthew Scudder, who is a recovering alcoholic and quintessentially New York, yet is controversially relocated to sunny Los Angeles. Despite its chaotic production and mixed results, the film showcases standout performances, particularly from Bridges and Garcia, and captures the bizarre essence of the 80s. A unique recommendation for those in LA is the classic fake talk show, Fernwood Tonight, available on YouTube.In this clip
