Gloria (1980)
Country: US
Technical: col 121m
Director: John Cassavetes
Cast: Gena Rowlands, John Adames, Buck Henry
Synopsis:
A former gangster's moll pits herself against her old friends and the police when she protects the son of an accountant who has been hit for planning on informing to the FBI.
Review:
Unusually for a Cassavetes film, this is a conventional crime thriller with a personal angle in the relationship between the kid and his antagonistic protectress. It is done with a whiff of authenticity and conviction, dominated by a powerful star personality, and not above the odd generic excitement or surprise.
