Corky's comin': Smell the rubber burn. Hear the women scream.
Life and times of the notoriously popular union boss, James (Jimmy) Hoffa Sr. Excellently done, long form (4 hours) TV movie. IMO, Blake is miscast. He doesn't look, act or sound like the real thing, but it's testament to his underrated acting abilities. You're pulled in from the opening act and you'll probably watch it straight through. Casting is outstanding, lots of notables including the great Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine as J. Edgar Hoover.
The 1981 TV remake of "Of Mice and Men" starring Robert Blake and Randy Quaid, was a virtual scene-for-scene remake of the 1939 version. The 1993 theatrical remake, starring Gary Sinise (who also directed) and John Malkovich, is perhaps closer to the source than its predecessors, but only time will tell if it attains the classic status of the Lewis Milestone version. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
