Has anyone seen The Friends of Eddie Coyle??????????? about 4 years ago

Seen parts of it on cable years ago. The print/tape they were using was in terrible shape so I hope this version will do it justice.
PS
The novel is great- short and intense. True noir.

The Highs and Lows of Filmmaking about 4 years ago

Kubrick -
“Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write ‘War and Peace’ in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling.”
