VHS Movie Reviews of Skin Game
Movie Review: Very Enjoyable James Garner Comedy With An Edge
Summary: 4 Stars
In the mid-70's James Garner & Louis Gossett teamed up in two memorable episodes of "The Rockford Files". Before that, however, they starred in "The Skin Game" with Susan Clark (best known as the mother on the t.v. show "Webster"). The Skin game is a smart comedy which also functions as an effective critique of the institution of slavery. All three stars are appealing and Garner does what he did best in "Maverick" and Rockford -- the con game. The con here is simple but enjoyable. The movie includes good performances by several familiar character actors of the era and features Ed Asner as the slave-trading bad guy. Due to "political correctness" I don't know if this movie could get made today, which is a shame. Highly recommended! Movie Review: THE SKIN GAME
Summary: 5 Stars
received the video and am very happy with it -- very fastmoving - james garner is a big favorite of ours - always
gives a great performance. LOVE IT!
Movie Review: Casting Could Not Have Been Better
Summary: 4 Stars
Garner and Gossit play off each other with the rhythm and nuance of a fine orchestra. I can't think of any reason to give this 4 stars instead of 5 other than the fact that there have been so many GREAT movies that I'm not sure where the cut off should be...perhaps slightly above this fine film? Or perhaps I'm wrong and it qualifies for the 5 star level. In any case, if you have not seen this movie, do so by all means. It is highly entertaining.Movie Review: The title says it all
Summary: 4 Stars
As the title implies, Quincy Drew/Capt. Nathaniel Mountjoy, Army Medical Corps (James Garner) travels the south in the slave days. There he sells his slave Jason O'Rourke (Louis Gossett Jr.) Then the slave is dubiously retrieved and sold again. The two plan to split the proceeds when loves intervenes in Jason's life. Things get complicated.
Better tape your ribs before watching this one.
Movie Review: An excellent study of white-black relationships 150 years ag
Summary: 4 Stars
I was impressed by the willingness of the producers to use the attitudes and language true to the era. Lou Gossett is superb as the "slave" as he switches from groveling chattel to Garner's equal and Edward Asner as the sadistic bully.
