Written and Directed by John Cassavetes
Starring John Cassavetes, Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara
Another trailer inexplicably missing from YouTube. And one for a film I often consider my favorite from my favorite director.
Obviously, Columbia might have had a bit of a problem advertising a film so exhausting on multiple levels from the non-ending cracks to the terror of the three stars facing their adulthood that they try to advertise it as goofball shtick. The film does have a lot of humor (and apparently an early cut was pure comedy), but that would only be barely scratching the surface of such an amazing film. Even Cassavetes own label of the film being a comedy seems to be done with a touch of irony (which is odd considering how irony free his films are). Still a fun trailer and a product of its time and interesting for historical purposes.
