Force of Evil - Sydney Pollack Intro

[@benicetoanimals8471]

Why not mention Tucker’s People by Ira Wolfert? This film was based on this brilliantly written novel. Ira co wrote the script with Abe Polanski. Ira is my late grandfather and I want people to know and recognize the great writing in his novel. He is also a Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist. Other novels of note are Act of Love and Married Men.

Thank you for sharing this. To anyone chancing on my comment today, the day I have posted it, "Force of Evil" is airing on TCM tonight midnight EST. I'm psyched!

Thanks for this synopsis.It would have been helpfull to read this before seeing the movie as the story is quite complicated and not always easy to follow. Some kind of explaination as to what 'the numbers game' entailed might have been included for the benefit of a non Amreican audience.However this is an excellent film,one of the best of its kind,good photography and picture quality,good sound, and excellent acting performances.It must have been a considerable feat of editing to string this plot together in such a way as to make sense.
