Review of Pulp (1972) by Tom M — 23 Apr 2011
Michael Caine plays a sharp and observant writer of pot-boiling pulp fiction who is just barely sharp and observant enough to stay alive but not out of trouble when he's hired to write a bio of a fading Hollywood star with mob connections.
And those connections fear the story he writes will reveal an old secret. Caine is perfectly sharp in the role, and Mickey Rooney plays his part to the hilt as the aging and self-absorbed star. The movie is a perfect rainy-day British who-dunnit romp.
