With its pop art title sequence and stylish opening tour of the river bottom graveyards where gently swaying gangsters, molls, wannabes and union bosses are weighed down by concrete galoshes as mob war rages on the docks above them, 99 and 44/100% Dead aka Call Harry Crown never manages to turn into the kind of comic book pastiche of gangster movies it clearly wants to be. Robert Dillon's script has the makings and throws in surreal touches like sewers full of alligators happily co-existing with tramps, Bradford Dillman's extwovewted mob boss who can't pwonounce his `r's or Chuck Connors' hitman with a claw for a hand complete with a suitcase full of multi-purpose attachments, but it never goes far enough, leaving the film an underdeveloped action movie with deliberately one-dimensional characters who aren't quite colourful or iconic enough to cut it. As the bespectacled and underdressed out-of-town enforcer called in to save old-school mobster Edmond O'Brien's bacon, Richard Harris gives it his best despite a spectacularly bad haircut but too often leaves the impression that they wanted Michael Caine but he was busy that month. Aside from the opening and part of a bridge shootout John Frankenheimer's handling of the action scenes isn't vigorous or imaginative enough to compensate for the other failings. Only the film's trailer and Henry Mancini's score really seems to really get the idea, giving it a kind of straightfaced tongue-in-cheek urgency at times while playing it cool and mellow at others. Even as a bit of a misfire there's enough that's quirky and stylish enough to keep you watching without getting bored, but it's easy to understand why this vanished almost without a trace after failing to find an audience in 1974.Read more ›

I've been on a Sam Peckinpah kick lately, and after watching THE WILD BUNCH for the umpteenth time I began wondering how many other films classic character actor Edmund O'Brien (D.O.A., THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND) made before he passed. When I saw that his last role was in 99 AND 44/100% DEAD, and that it was directed by another one of my favorites, John Frankenheimer (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, SEVEN DAYS IN MAY, SECONDS) I looked for it and very luckily found this Double-Feature DVD that pairs it with another '70's flick, THE NICKLE RIDE, for $5! Both 20th Century Fox color productions deal with life in the mob, but are polar opposites in tone and execution. WARNING: PLOT SPOILERS FOLLOW......

What really seals the deal for this set is THE NICKEL RIDE, by another critically acclaimed director, Richard Mulligan (TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE). The film features the late Jason Miller in the lead role, who's a hometown hero in the area I live (Northeast PA).

This was a film I saw in the 1980s and lost track of it then I saw a film clip on you tube and started to look a round for it and found it on amazon I have now watched this film at least 3 times and yet again I think this was one of Harris best films
