Solid example of 70's filmmaking
I had forgotten that I had this film in a pile to "watch later" and finally did and was glad I did. This overlooked 1972 film from director Michael Richie while short on run time and story development is still a worthy viewing experience.Mr.Richie went onto a fine career doing such films as The Candidate,The Bad News Bears,Semi-Tough and a few notable comedies like Fletch and Wildcats.He also did Student Bodies which he had his named removed from so nobody's perfect.The film has a great cast it stars veteran tough guy actor Lee Marvin as Nick a mob fixer who is assigned a job to reel in a renegade hood. This hood is a guy named Mary Ann( I kid you not) and he runs a drug and white slavery ring out in rural Kansas City.Played to the cusp of over acting by Gene Hackman Mary Ann uses a meat packing/slaughterhouse plant as a front for his illegal activities.Mary Ann has a dim witted brother called Weenie(at least not Ginger to his brother Mary Ann thankfully) who acts as the muscle played by Gregory Walcott.Nick is a city slicker based out of Chicago who is quiet,mean looking and well dressed.Mary Ann is loud and obnoxious and a country boy .Mary Ann has angered the Chicago mob by stopping his payments and going rogue.He's also grounded up previous gangsters from Chi-Town who were sent to persuade him into sausages and sent them back to Chicago in bundles of meat.So Nick ,a trusted sidekick driver and 3 "green" young wannabees head from Chicago to Kansas City to see what can be done to correct the situation.What you get besides a lot of violence is the classic city versus country scenario. Slick Nick and company pop into Mary Ann's barn where various young girls are being drugged and penned like pigs or cows would be.One of the girls is played by Sissy Spacek(you might have heard of her) and another is played by 70's B movie starlet Janit Baldwin( Gator Bait,Ruby) .Nick is not amused by MA's little gambit and informs him that he's taking one of the girls as down payment for what he owes.He chooses Poppy (Spacek) a pretty little blond who along with Violet was raised in a Missouri orphanage .Said orphanage also was a front for breeding future girls to be sold as sex slaves.MA says that he'll make good on the money he owes but of course you KNOW he's not going to.Violence erupts Nick and Poppy are on the lamb and the rest of Nick's associate's are either killed or on the run as well.Nick and Poppy have a memorable scene in a wheat field where a hired hand tries to grind the two up with a giant wheat harvester .This scene is the most memorable thing in Prime Cut.You feel the fear of 2 people lost in a wheat field and a giant combine machine trying to rip them to shreds.The film has great cinematography and the colors are top notch.Something about 70's cinema and the whole style of shooting makes it stand out.As a last twist in the story Mary Ann is married to Clarabelle (Angel Tompkins) who once was involved with Nick.Will she aid Nick in bringing down her husband or stay loyal to him? This film could've used more story building and feels rushed at times.It's also the film debut of the young Sissy Spacek who's good here.She play's naive and resourceful very good here.Poppy her character reminds me of the character played by Jennifer Jason Leigh in Miami Blues. Both have that "are you kidding me" sense of naiveness that makes them endearing.Baldwin also made her debut here and is less memorable but fine for what's asked of Violet.To sum it up if you want a fine nights viewing I recommend Prime Cut.The cast is stellar ,the look awesome and the action intense.

An important restoration
These three films contain so much beauty, and so much heartache, it's hard to know where to begin. First off, if your a ciniphile, or criterion collector, it's pretty much a must to own these newly restored films. I believe the original prints where very damaged , or completely lost in a fire, so the restoration is nothing short of amazing. The films do look older then they are, but the clarity and visual beauty is not diminished here at all.
The films basically follow a young boy Apu throughput his life, growing up Bengali in India , and the trials and tribulations he faces from his poor rural behinings, to his education and later move to Calcutta.
On my initial viewing of these films, I thought the heartache was too much, and quite honestly put them out of my mind, but they actually never left, due to the power of them, and the vision of this fantastic director, and the talented actors. Upon reviewing them, at least 3 times each, I realize there is much beauty and hope, along with the pain..in these quite frankly incredible films.

One of The Undeniable Masterworks of Cinema
This extraordinary trilogy earns it's place among cinema's greatest masterworks. The saga a young Bengali boy's journey into adulthood, feeling his way through the mysterious world, as he experiences living in rural poverty, trains to be a priest like his father, attends university in Calcutta, the unusual circumstances that he meets the love of his life, and becoming a wandering writer. Filmed in an unpretentious neorealist style, simply told but complex in nature, life, loss, love, family, religion, and one's place in the world are all confronted with uniquely gentle and artistic charm and heart breaking tragedy. These films are so pure, so genuine, and so thoughtful, they reach the heights of humanity in cinema. This towering landmark in Indian cinema was a shot heard around the world when first released in the 1950's , winning awards, establishing Satyajit Ray as a world class director, popularizing the music of Ravi Shankar, and has enchanted film-lovers ever since. This Criterion Collection set is superb. Extra content includes plenty of interviews, documentaries, and essays. The restoration is excellent -nothing short of a miracle, considering the original prints were damaged in a fire (this is documented in one of the many extras). These are must-see entries in world cinema and highly recommended to fans of foreign film (especially Kurosawa and Italian neorealists) and those that appreciate great storytelling.

Terrible delivery
This review is about product delivery.
The Apu Trilogy is one of the best trilogies in the style of Italian neorealism ever made. These movies are international treasures and should be preserved for posterity. I wish Amazon packaging had considered that.
When Amazon sends me a single battery, it comes wrapped and boxed in a giant box. Almost everything comes in oversized packages, but they sent the three DVDs without any protective envelope, box, or sleeve. It arrived in its original packaging, dinged on all four corners. The DVDs were a birthday gift. Extremely disappointed!

Stunning Document of Humanity
I waited far, far too long to immerse myself in the films of Satyajit Ray. After finally watching the Apu trilogy on The Criterion Channel, I immediately purchase the Criterion set (because the internet's going down someday and these are pantheon-level, must-have films).
Ray's 3-film trilogy following the arc of a boy's life from his idyllic rural village in India to the teeming metropolis of Calcutta covers just about every aspect of human growth and conflict. Family, curiosity, mischief, tragedy, love, desire, intellectual pursuit, and ultimately, the responsibility of parenthood all unfold in Ray's epically framed cinema. At times one feels as if watching a documentary, glimpsing the intimate moments of lives we might never otherwise see. Ray's direction lets every scene breathe fully and the actors feel perfectly natural. It's also a real treat to hear the early works of a young Ravi Shankar in his perfectly timed soundtrack utilizing both traditional and modern treatments of Indian music. Ray's Apu trilogy--as well as the rest of his film catalogue--are must-watch movies for any student of film or anyone who appreciates a beautiful, heartfelt, and philosophical portrait of people enslaved by pleasures, responsibilities, and tragedies.
