St. Ives (1976)

I first saw this film in a theatre in Summer, 1976, and have since watched it on TV several times, awaiting the day the DVD would be issued.It is easily said that this is not only one of my favorite Bronson films, but just one of my favorite films in general. There is an ambience or quality to this film that just reaches out to me. Everything just works.The other reviews listed here sum up the movie pretty well. But I will say I am surprised that only one reviewer mentions in passing one role that helps make this movie, and that is the one played by Dana Elcar. Elcar plays a detective on the police force who is not only friendly to St. Ives, but somewhat protective by the latitude he offers. At the ending, it is of course natural that Dana Elcar's character is called in by St. Ives to help tidy up the messy details. Dana Elcar was a supreme actor both in the movies and on TV, and it is true tragedy that he ended life going blind.If you enjoy Bronson movies, or laid back, cool detective movies this one is for you. Now, if I can just locate that great looking cafeteria in this movie I will be all set. Ray St. Ives sure knew where to eat, but never learned not to bet on the Los Angeles Rams!Semper Fi.

I love the story line. It shows how the "old time" writers could come up with a good story.

Shout Studios (formerly Factory) releases on Blu-ray this WB film from 1976 starring Charles Bronson as a crime reporter acting as a go-between to retrieve some stolen journals of a wealthy man (played by John Houseman) and his mysterious associate (played by Jaqueline Bisset) as unexpected murders and killers complicate his search.Looking fine in HD, an upgrade from the 2005 DVD, porting over those extras, but nothing new was added. Charles Bronson fans will be the most likely audience of otherwise ordinary thriller, though beautiful Bisset nearly steals the picture.

One of my favorite movies. Hard to go wrong with Bronson and the lovely Bisset who didn't ever have to do too much aside from showing up.Interesting, believable caper set in an earlier downtown L.A. Very good dialogue as well. By J. Lee Thompson, the same director who did the excellent action movie the Guns of Navarone.

the movie was great i am a big fan of charles bronson and i do have a few of his movies....thank you very much amazon.com
