5 Feet of Fury

A quintessential 1970s movie: ‘Cold Turkey’ (1971)

(Norman Lear again…)

As I’ve written elsewhere, one major theme of the 1970s was “We’re horribly broke and will do anything for money”:

Turn our losing hockey team into winners by hiring crowd-pleasing goons; forging Howard Hugh’s will; becoming professional rollerskaters; or just take up old fashioned robbery, gambling and con artistry.

Plus Cold Turkey features THREE assassinations! Take that, Nashville!
