| Director: | Neil Leifer | |
| Main Cast: | Ian McShane Adam Faith Paul Nicholas Suzanne Somers Sam Kydd |
|
| Score: | (Music Director) Stanley Myers | |
| Screen Play: | Jackie Collins | |
| Synopsis: | Follows the problems of a thirty-something former soccer hero, Rod Turner (Ian McShane), who falls from grace and descends into alcoholism. His manager is Jake, played by Adam Faith. Turner is rescued from oblivion by his ex-lover (Suzanne Summers) and her boyfriend (Paul Nicholas), who work hard to give him back his life. | |
| Review: | Jackie Collins-scripted nonsense which follows the misfortunes of washed-up footballer McShane, as he struggles against all the odds to stage a comeback. Collins just uses the football as a backdrop for her usual glossy melodrama without even attempting to add an ounce of authenticity. Her own spin on the world of football is enough to put anyone off sport for life, while McShane looks oddly uncomfortable in his boots.. © Film 4 website. | |
| Title: | McVicar |  |
| Date: | 1980 | |
| Director: | Tom Clegg | |
| Main Cast: | Roger Daltrey Adam Faith Brian Hall Cheryl Campbell |
|
| Score: | Various writers. Produced by Jeff Wayne. Performed by Roger Daltrey, The Who, and others. |
|
| Synopsis: | Drama based on the true life story of professional British criminal John McVicar. The film strongly depicts the brutal aspects of British prison life, but follows McVicar into his eventual rehabilitation. The screen play was written by the director Tom Clegg and John McVicar, based on McVicar's autobiography. | |
| Review | A muscular crime drama offering two
pop stars-turned-actors for the price of one. Roger Daltrey takes the
title role of the now rehabilitated and respectable criminal John McVicar,
Adam Faith is his accomplice in a prison break-out, Walter Probyn. As one
might expect, the film is somewhat sanitised but, despite that, the prison
scenes carry conviction. Tom Clegg, more used to the confines of small
screen series such as The Sweeney, provides efficient if anonymous
direction.
