Set against the breathtaking visuals of Monument Valley, this mesmerizing film is your ticket to open-road excitement!The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Blake) wants is to become a detectiveto wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes on the case and proves his stuff! But as soon as he's promoted, the corruption he must tolerate makes the Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, where he makes another shocking discovery - one that could cost him his life!

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
An extremely rare find worth owning if you can find it :-)
This is definitely a worthwhile investment. If you like the 2 box office versions from 1939 and 1992, you will enjoy this version of the tale of 2 migrant workers in depression era California. In this version George (the smart one) is played by Robert (Baretta) Blake, and Lennie by Randy (brother of Dennis) Quaid best known for movies like "The Last Picture Show". It also includes talent like Mitch Ryan (Dark Shadows, Star Trek: The Next Generation) as Slim, Ted Neeley (Jesus Christ Superstar) as Curley and veterans Lew Ayres as Candy and Whitman Mayo (Grady, Sanford and Son) as Crooks. It basically plays like a remake of the 39 version with an extra scene not in the book at the beginning (in the book Lennie's aunt dies before the story takes place), but it is still enjoyable. By the way the running time on the disc like the tape says 150 minutes which is not true. It's closer to 125. Apparantly this copy was imported from Canada so that's why it's a rare find, but I bought it at a used store in New Jersey and it plays great. So if you have 2 hours and 5 minutes to kill, get a copy while it lasts. In fact take about 6 hours and watch all 3, and compare and contrast them. You will find differences, yes, but trust me you will enjoy all 3 interpretations of this wonderful work of John Steinbeck.
