1h 31m
Directed by Thomas McGuane • 1975 • United States
Starring Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Margot Kidder
Thomas McGuane adapted his own novel for this wonderfully weird, deadpan portrait of outsiders and oddballs living in Key West, Florida. Peter Fonda stars as a wannabe fishing guide who finds himself drawn into a dangerous rivalry with a crusty, irascible backwater boatman (the one and only Warren Oates). The offbeat cast—including Harry Dean Stanton, Burgess Meredith, a pre–Lois Lane Margot Kidder, and Sylvia Miles—delivering deliciously florid dialogue in the sun-blasted Florida setting makes for a one-of-a-kind, almost surreally entertaining seriocomedy that eschews narrative structure in favor of a loose-limbed, lo-fi quirkiness.
