Review of Fat City (1972) by Brandon S — 16 Nov 2009
Not really a sports movie at all, John Huston's character study is light on plot, but long on rich, authentic characters. Superb performances by Stacy Keach, Susan Tyrrell, and a young Jeff Bridges, an excellent loose script by Leonard Gardner (from his novel), and a palpable atmosphere of down-and-out desperation.
An absolute classic.
