Description
Ex-used car salesman Harold Dodge can't resist helping his beautiful co-worker Marianna to retrieve her car from a low-life dealer - a con-man not unlike the 'bird dog' Harold used to be. But what should have been a straightforward exchange begins to get out of hand. When Marianna unwittingly takes a document which could incriminate some of the local mob the misunderstandings and dirty dealings escalate, and Harold finds himself embroiled in a far more dangerous set-up than he ever could show more have bargained for. Bird Dog is a sharply observed, witty and affectionate look at the absurd criminal underworld of LA from a talent with a real future. show lessTags

- First words
- El Jefe and his crew were selling two cars a minute at the LA Auto Auction when Harold looked up and saw her coming toward him, knifing her way through the crowd, her eyes dark with anger.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Moments later, she set the bottle and a glass next to him, then disappeared, leaving the house quiet and Marianna drowsy against him. As he enjoyed the last few rays of sunlight he took a swallow of beer. Yes, it was true what they said: It even tasted great when it was warm.
