Cold Sweat (1970) [w/Commentary]

Joe Martin, a quiet American, lives a quiet life in the South of France renting boats to tourists. He is happily married to Fabienne and has a twelve-year-old daughter named Michèle. But the quiet man has a past: ten years before, Joe (then Moran) had escaped with four other convicts, among whom the sadistic ex-mercenary Katanga. Seeing the latter brutally kill an M. P., Joe had abandoned his accomplices and left with the car. One night, Captain Ross, Katanga, Whitey and Fausto re-appear.



Commentary - in this audio commentary, film historians Howard S. Berger, Steve Mitchell and Nathaniel Thompson discuss the conception of Cold Sweat, its deservingly cold reception by the critics in America, the exact spot that it occupies in Charles Bronson's body of work, and some of the film's strengths and weaknesses.
