Rancho Deluxe 08/21/21

Another unexpected comic treasure from the mid ’70s!  Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston make an irresistible pair of would-be outlaws in a tale set in modern high-country Montana, where a gentleman rancher from New Jersey owns all the land and making an honest living is just too boring. Thomas McGuane’s hilariously laid-back dialogue pits our slacker cattle rustlers against society, but only in the pursuit of having a good time. Frank Perry’s beautifully directed show gives choice roles to a fistful of actors: Clifton James, Elizabeth Ashley, Harry Dean Stanton, Slim Pickens, Charlene Dallas, Richard Bright, Joe Spinell, Patti D’Arbanville. Call it ‘literate’ country comedy, with musical accompaniment by Jimmy Buffett. The extras include a great new interview with star Jeff Bridges. On Blu-ray from Fun City Editions.
