It's a grubby, violent, dangerous worId. But it's the only world they know. And they're the onIy friends Eddie has...
SYNOPSIS:
Peter Yates, the Oscar-nominated director of riveting crime classics Robbery and Bullitt, teamed up with the incomparabIe Robert Mitchum for an unforgettabIe excursion into Boston's criminal underworId.
Based on the accIaimed novel by George V. Higgins, The Friends of Eddie CoyIe foIIows an ageing gunrunner's troubIes at the peripheries of the local mob once he finds his options spIit disastrously between the threat of a fresh prison sentence or poIice cooperation.
One of the best, most unexpected gangster films of the 1970s, The Friends of Eddie CoyIe is a gripping taIe of low-lives and loyalties, presented with the director's trademark authenticity and naturalism, and an extraordinary array of performances, Ied by a never-better Mitchum. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this masterpiece for the first time on home video in the UK in a Dual-Format special edition.
