If you lived in Boston over the last 40 or so years, you could catch this on Channel 38 periodically. I believe I saw it on AMC back when they actually played classics. It is fantastic. It has a wonderful 1970’s Boston flavor, which is odd to say about something filmed in Boston in the 1970’s , but trust me. Beyond that, it is just as described above by Maurice. They seldom make films about a character like this anymore. Not well, anyway. I actually live around the corner from one of the banks used in the film. I came around a corner when I first moved here and saw it staring me in the face and almost drove off of the road. As far as the bar is concerned, was that on the corner where the Tower Records was? It seemed like it, but I wasn’t old enough for bars then!
Has anyone seen The Friends of Eddie Coyle??????????? about 3 years ago
