Superb acting drives this gritty and violent story of a group of three criminals who steal $300,000 in Harlem that belongs to the mob. The race is on. Who will find them first? The mob, led by Tony Franciosa, trying to prove himself to his father-in-law who runs the mob? Or the cops, led by old fashioned corrupt (and racist) Anthony Quinn and the new guy who is trying to play by the book, Yaphet Kotto? Strong language, strong violence, never a dull moment.

2025 movie #188. 1967. UNCLE needs to recover a formula which can turn water into gold before THRUSH does. Typical goofy, but fun, The Man From UNCLE plot. Karate did not feature in the plot at all. Interesting cast, including Joan Crawford of all people. Star Trek score 2: Kim Darby was the title character in "Miri" (TOS 1.8) and Jill Ireland was Leila (TOS, 1.24 "This Side of Paradise") as Spock's spoor induced girlfriend.

2024 movie #51. 1971. After being left for dead by his traveling companions, a fur trapper (Harris) follows them through native American territory. Based on the same true story as "The Revenant" (2015), with Leonardo DiCaprio. Harris made a few like this, i.e. A Man Called Horse
