138: Saint Jack (1979) and The Spanish Prisoner (1997)

We celebrate Ben Gazzara - sort of. First up is "Saint Jack" (1979), a wonderful Peter Bogdanovich film that seems to be written for Gazzara. The story of an American  wanting nothing more than to open a brothel in Singapore. We  loved this film and agree that it is as underrated as they come. Our second feature is not really a Ben Gazzara film, but he's in it for a brief time. David Mamet's "The Spanish Prisoner" (1997) is another con-artist yarn that is boring, miscast and extremely predictable. 

Next, chess films with "Fresh" (1994) and "Critical Thinking" (2020).
