У ковбоев так принято
Story
Два друга-ковбоя из американской глубинки приезжают в большой город, чтобы «навести там порядок». Бесстрашные чемпионы многочисленных местных родео, одетые, подобно персонажам старых голливудских вестернов, в современном городе выглядят деревенскими увальнями и совершеннейшим анахронизмом. Однако, как это обычно и бывает, наивность и врожденное чувство справедливости помогают им храбро сражаться с шайкой гангстеров, которые занимаются нелегальной переправкой эмигрантов с Кубы, в сети которых попалась дочь их друга.
Ace Hits The Big Time
Director
On the day he enters Kennedy High in Manhattan wearing a patch over one eye, sixteen-year-old Horace Hobart is urged to join what he believes is the toughest gang at school.
Love Lives On
Co-Producer
A 15-year-old girl must choose between continuing her pregnancy and undergoing treatment for her fast-growing cancer.
Bud and Lou
Producer
They were the greatest partners that ever partnered, partner. No, I haven’t lost the ability to write, I’m simply repeating the word repeated ad nauseam in the 1978 television biopic, Bud and Lou. I avoided watching/reviewing this for a while, predominately because I know absolutely nothing about Abbott and Costello, and the duo, embodied by Buddy Hackett and Harvey Korman, instilled a belief this was a cheapo TV movie….which it is. Bud and Lou plays as if the screenwriter read a Sparknotes write-up about the duo and thought it was too long. On top of it all, the characters are bipolar in temperament and horribly miscast. For a movie about two comedians, the only humor derived is in the belief this television movie was a good idea. Bud Abbott (Korman) and Lou Costello (Hackett) struggle to rise up the burlesque ranks, eventually becoming successful comedic actors. However, various problems complicate their fame.
