Goin’ South – 4K 08/06/24

Jack Nicholson’s shaggy, sloppy, not-particularly-well-organized western comedy is often hilarious, especially in the early stages. With a half-dozen capable funny men given little to do — John Belushi, for one — the movie is ultimately saved by its leading lady. The marvelous, 100% charming Mary Steenburgen helps the film earn its label ‘romantic comedy,’ even if the result leaves a lot of loose ends hanging. Nicholson did hire the best, though — Richard Bradford, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Morris … and his cameraman is none other than Néstor Almendros. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from Cinématographe / Vinegar Syndrome.
