Quentin Tarantino presents a new 35mm print of this 1970s cult thriller boasting an all-star cast!
A thinly veiled take on the JFK assassination stars Jeff Bridges as the son of a wealthy and powerful patriarch (played by scene-stealer John Huston), a character loosely based on Joseph Kennedy Sr. As the story unfolds, Bridges finds himself following one lead after another while trying to unravel the conspiracy around who killed the president—who happens to be his older brother. The astonishing cast includes Anthony Perkins, Eli Wallach, Sterling Hayden, Toshiro Mifune, and in an unbilled and wordless performance, Elizabeth Taylor as a character inspired by JFK’s mistress Judith Exner. A forgotten gem of 1970s cinema! (97 mins., 35mm)
