Rarely seen? Speak for yourself! I loved this movie when I was about 15. It kept coming on tv late late at night and I had a lot of trouble sleeping so I saw it about 5 times. Also loved Americana (1981) with Carradine and Hershey reunited (and a cameo from Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty.) - @Friday, April 27, 2018 10:05 PM

This film looks more promising than Scorsese's previous films other than Mean Streets looks like a Roger Corman vehicle - @Friday, May 27, 2016 5:42 PM

Scorsese was an asshole even back then. I did the train jump for Brbara and he was a real jerk, likely still is. - @Thursday, February 10, 2011 6:21 PM
