HIS WIFE. HlS MISTRESS. HIS CAREER. A DEADLY TRAP.
ln 1986, John Frankenheimer the director of The Manchurian Candidate, Seconds and French Connection II made the unlikely career move of working with schIockmeisters Cannon Films. Adapting EImore Leonard s novel of the same name, 52 Pick-Up s union brought about the perfect bIend of high caIibre thriIIs and Cannon-grade trash.
Roy Scheider (Jaws, Cohen and Tate) pIays a successfuI businessman whose life quickIy faIIs apart when a compromising videotape of him and his mistress (Kelly Preston) becomes a tooI for bIackmail. UnabIe to go to the police without compromising the poIiticaI career of his wife (Ann-Margret), he must take things into his own hands and delve into a world of drugs, sIeaze, pornography and snuff.
Co-starring Prince protégé Vanity and John GIover (who was described as the best, most reprehensible vilIain of the year by Roger Ebert), and featuring a host of cameos from the stars of the SiIver Age of Porn , 52 Pick-Up has been described by Leonard as his favourite big-screen adaptation of his works. |
