MIKEY AND NICKY
Special Features: 50th Anniversary | 4K Restoration
The saga behind the making of this film is legendary: One million feet of film were shot to get spontaneous raw drama, 18 months were spent in the editing room and director Elaine May and star Peter Falk had to hide their own footage away in a secret location to keep it from prying studio executives. After a botched release, May’s preferred cut of the film first saw the light of day a decade later, and the film now reflects her intended vision. Nick (John Cassavetes) is a small-timer with a contract out on him, on the run from the mob; Mikey (Peter Falk) is Nick’s good friend, hoping to calm him down and get him out of town; Ned Beatty, in one of his best roles, plays the hit man. Legendary acting teachers Sanford Meisner and William Hickey have cameos playing mob bosses. DIR/SCR Elaine May; PROD Michael Hausman. U.S., 1976, color, 106 min. RATED R
