***FULLY TESTED AND REWOUND***

Fassbinder's version of the Hollywood gangster film pays homage to movie greats Humphrey Bogart, Sam Fuller, and Orson Welles to name a few.

The story centers on Ricky, a charismatic hit man who always wears a gun bulging from his shoulder holster, sports a soft fedora hat and white double-breasted suit, and drinks Ballantine scotch straight from the bottle.

Recently returned from Vietnamized America, Ricky carries out his assigned murders without knowledge or emotion. The amazing final shoot-out is probably the most startling of Fassbinder's patented off-beat endings.
