A fun little caper flick. Does it make sense? No, but everyone in the movie believes it does, and that’s enough to make it work. Jack Elam is a glorious twitchy rag doll of creepiness.

Edward Small (1501 Vine Street- I accidentally did this one early) produced about a billion movies, mostly westerns. There are very few pictures of him online. I guess he was camera shy, but you wouldn’t guess that from his production company’s logo:

The logo for Edward Small Productions. Giant letters "ES" fill more than half the screen. Below them are the words "EDWARD SMALL PRODUCTIONS"
I guess “Small” didn’t refer to how he wrote his initials.

Today’s source poster was pretty obscure, but it looked cool so I went for it.
