My Uncle was telling me about this Robert Mitchum flick, "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" and I havent been able to find it any where for rent or sale. Does it even exist on video? How about "Charley Varrick", is that available?

They might have been released on VHS at one time but I doubt they will ever be released on DVD. And that's to bad because I liked both of them.

I think it was released on VHS years back. There have been a few bootleg copies of it available on ebay and I've seen it on tv so a transfer was done years ago. I know it won't be likely, but damn I wish they'd release this baby on dvd. It's definately one of Mitchum's finest fliks.
shareHave you ever seen the made for TV movie called "A Killer in The Family?" Mitchum plays a killer who escapes from prison with the help of his three sons. It's based on a true story about the Tison family. Mitchum is terrific.

I saw that. One of his last films. Mitchum chewed the scenery wonderfully, but besides that the movie wasn't anything to rave about.
shareKeep - Your uncle's got great taste in 70's flicks. COYLE was out on video briefly, I think, but not on DVD. I've only seen it at the Museum of Modern Art during a Paramount retro. CHARLEY VARRICK was broadcast letterboxed and unedited on AMC in the 90's and was on a double laser disc with Siegel's equally great MADIGAN and I assume has come out on DVD since.
