Considering this TV program stars Lee Marvin and Keenan Wynn AND was directed by Sam Peckinpah, you'd expect it to be great. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be anything but! You really would think Marvin and Peckinpah would guarantee violence and sheer manliness...and you'd be wrong. Instead, it's sappy, boring and just plain awful. There are many reasons why but filling the show with honkytonk music to illustrate it's trying to be funny (there is NO other way you'd know this was the intent!) shows how awkward it all is.
Marvin and Wynn play a couple hucksters who took some poker players for a lot of money. Not surprisingly, the losers are mad and are determined to exact their revenge. To avoid this, the pair embark on a road trip...and the buddy picture fails miserably because it constantly relies on schmaltz...something that Peckinpah seems incapable of doing. Overall, an embarrassment to all involved. My verdict....yecch!
