#Aspen 02 (1977) - 10/10
Gripping courtroom drama with a very smart, dynamic hero.

1️⃣ The performances of #SamElliott, #JosephCotten and #JohnHouseman dominate this 2-hour second chapter.

2️⃣ The murder trial is covered in the first hour. But it’s mismanaged, so our hero spends most his time in bitter arguments with the senior partners. To no avail.

2️⃣ We don’t get to the actual murder here, but we do get plenty of sordid backstory. Both of the men, and their best friends (#RogerDavis & #BoHopkins), are in love with various women (including #DebiRichter & #JessicaHarper) who string them along and ultimately don’t seem to care for them. At all.

3️⃣ Cast is jam-packed with big names, and most get their moment in the spotlight. #GeneBarry is a bullying millionaire developer, #TonyFranciosa is a drug kingpin. #JohnHouseman is... John Houseman.

Early in "Seven Days in May", #fredricmarch shines as a change-seeking president. The film's early promise is snuffed out by the stiff performances of #burtlancaster and #kirkdouglas as a general planning a coup and an aide who exposes him. The stiffness is catching. #avagardner and #johnhouseman, two actors who often needed reining in by directors, seem to have been sedated by this one. It's hard for the audience to get excited about a possible coup when the actors don't much care.

Early in "Seven Days in May" (1961), #fredricmarch lights a spark as a president who seeks change and is repaid with a 29% approval rating. #burtlancaster snuffs that spark with a stiff, flat affect performance as a general who plans a coup. #kirkdouglas, also stiff, offers a choice of two facial expressions. Two actors who often needed reining in and didn't get it, give bloodless performances here: #johnhouseman appears literally to be on tranquilizers and #avagardner barely registers. #film
