Not Bad, Interesting

This short film is included on the DVD for the documentary film "Derby," about roller derby. (1971). The lead character is released from prison, and tries to find steady work. This proves to be a difficult task. This film was shot in black and white, with no script, totally add libbed. Shot in a cinema vertie style, it keeps the viewers attention. There is a bar scene that features Charles McGregor, who would later appear in "Superfly," and "Blazing Saddles" Most of the cast had criminal records, and their prison numbers are shown in the closing credits. This is definitely worth a look. I give this film three stars.
