The Fortune (1975)

88 mins     Comedy, Crime, Romance      

I have watched "The Fortune" three times now and that it isn't because I liked it, in fact the second time I watched it was only to confirm what I thought when I first watched it which was as a whole it doesn't work. But ther...

Silkwood (1983)
