Synopsis
Nick is desperate, holed up in a cheap hotel, suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mob boss wants him killed. Desperate and terrified, he calls Mikey, his friend since childhood and a fellow gangster. So begins a long night…
Our take
Brilliantly written and directed by the great (and too unheralded) Elaine May, Mikey and Nicky is an eloquent two-hander and a lost treasure from the 70s golden age of Hollywood. Co-starring Cassavetes, and a never-better Peter Falk!
