Steve McQueen is a rockabilly singer out on parole after serving time for knifing someone. He goes home to his wife (Lee Remick) and tries to go straight, but things go wrong and he becomes violent again. Written by Horton Foote, so you can expect good things, but it's fairly heavy going in a second-rate Tennessee Williams down-on-the-chicken-shack-low-life sort of way. Both Foote and McQueen did much better things than this.
Viewer Reviews steve mcqueen was many things, but a country & western troubador was not one of them. this is just a messy and silly movie that, while considered hot & sexy 40 years back,is now little more than a laughable blip in its stars career.
