Ivan Passer's first American film and his first in the English language is a core life-with-a-junkie tale in a cold Manhattan winter. George Segal is the 'habituated, not addicted' (he says) user whose married life has already been destroyed. Can he escape with the help of his new girlfriend? Hector Elizondo's pimp/pusher has no intention of letting that happen. What's weird is Passer's frequently light tone -- Segal's criminal antics verge on the absurd. It's a great film to see Karen Black, a young Robert De Niro and even Paula Prentiss in action, and yet another snapshot of Times Square in its most degraded decade.
