Review of Electra Glide in Blue (1973) by Christopher S — 19 May 2008
A truly great 70's cult classic finally on Dvd. Long before Robert Blake was getting in trouble with the law, he was the law in this beautifully filmed crime drama. Blake plays John Wintergreen, an undersized straight shooting Arizona motorcycle cop trying desperately to become a detective.
He gets his chance when he stumbles upon a murder made to look like a suicide. Mitch Ryan is the grizzled hippy hating detective who takes Blake under his wing and Billy Green Bush plays his bike riding partner.
Look for cameos by Peter Cetera and other members of the band Chicago and a very young Nick Nolte as one of the non-speaking gape mouthed hippies that Blake and Ryan shakedown.
