The Big Bounce (1969 Alex March)

Also by Elmore Leonard and so a natural pairing with the previous film, quite catchy story is underscored by really terrible music. It needs a Dirty Harry type score.

Ryan O'Neal falls for psycho Leigh Taylor-Young who is being pimped out by her husband. Robert Webber also fancies her, and Van Heflin is on hand to try and straighten out the young drifter.

The scene which I noticed had been cut when I first saw it on TV on April 9 1980 was of a discreetly naked Taylor-Young standing in profile on a gravestone. These cut scenes are hardly ever worth getting excited about!
