Poor Pretty Eddie (1975)

[lester1/2jr]

    the bad news is this is a terrible print. Far more obscure titles have been given generous DVD packages.  This has no extras and, again,  it's quite the lousy print.  The film is great however. 


                        Imagine Stehpen King gets pulled over while driving through the south.  The cop gives him a big ticket.  When he gets to his hotel room, what King writes is bound to be something like  "poor Pretty Eddie":  a largely unfair,  vicious, obsessive and psychological  deconstruction of a town of cartoon character rednecks.  Poor pretty eddie himself looks sort of like a meth addict Tom Brady and his older fat wife, the great Shelley Winters, has no level of psychological degradation she won't sink to in worshipping him.  I have seen a couple 4 or so star movies lately and have been hesitant to give 5.  I'm glad i held out because this is the real deal.  Slim Pickens from Dr Stranglove is in it, as is Lurch from the Addams family.  a Hicksploitation classic !  which is to say a  little better than "fight for your life", the only other one I've seen.



here is how interrogations are done in this part of the country
