Here's another film on BFI's top 100 list. It's top 20'ish, actually. An English gangster picture. Wait? Do all mob movies have to have a 'meat locker' scene? I guess you need one to keep people hanging around and cool. This week's recomndation is The Long Good Friday (1980). It stars Bob Hoskins (1) as the dominative diminative gangster and Helen Mirren (2) as his partner Victoria...
"Where is Victoria?!!" Harold...
It would be wise for the head gangster to do their on delegating. Allowing others could lead to one being alone in the back seat of the wrong car. There's also a Pierce Bronson (3) appearance. One of his better performances. He only has one line. Er, one word, actually...
(1) Enemy at the Gate, week 124
(2) Supt. Jane Tennison, Prime Suspect, 7 TV movies...
(3) GoldenEye, week 144
