I would say that would rate as one of my longest searches ever for a piece of software, and yes, I could've sourced this on VHS more easilly but it was worth it, agreed, gorgeous is not too strong a word
Locations are well chosen and the colors are beautiful; its more accessible and has aged better than Zabriskie Point or Blow Up, in many ways its a more mature effort
I would like to know what happened to Jack Nicholson after this film; he is the complete antithesis of the Ugly American in Passenger; dry, urbane, low key, suave, and likeable...
None of the over-the-top characterisations or snarling cynicism thats become his "style" and all the better for it

I think the problem with Jack's lovable but over-the-top acting is the directors who wanted just that, so he delivered. He is capable of much more, and for instance, as we discussed recently, in Hoffa he does none of that and simply acts like a great actor should.A good actor in the hands of a good director... what more could we ask for?
