Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jasmeen Pradhan I came upon this movie online. I must say, I found it intriguing and quite good. The acting is superb! George Peppard as a down-on-his luck P.I., was a tremendous delight. He was believable! Even Raymund Burr as William Orbison was excellent. He was sinister without even trying to be sinister. But my only misgivings was that I kind of knew what was going to happen even before it happened. But all in all, I liked how the actors portrayed their respected roles. They did their best to put on a stellar performances, in spite of some of the dialogue. I am quite sorry that I cannot find a a decent copy to add to my collection of good movies. They don't make P.I. movies like they used to.

Karl Ericsson I saw this when it was new in Italian Switzerland (=Ticino) with subtitles in two different languages and remember it as being one of the best films I had ever seen together with these other films Peppard did in the late sixties: Pendulum, The Executioners, House of Cards and maybe The Third Day. These films were unique and Peppard was never better. I doubt that he understood it himself, since he only did BS after this. I would even go so far as to claim these films as unique in cinema history, creating an atmosphere all of their own but depending heavily on a George Peppard supplying the uniqueness maybe just by playing roles that were "beneath" him as an actor and therefore charged with surplus that comes across as unique atmosphere - I don't know. All I know is that these were damn good films and are nowhere to get now except the Executioners in Spain.

christopher lyons I saw this film as New Face In Hell when it was first released and enjoyed it, in fact I saw it over 10 times I thought it was that good. I remember it was very realistic especially in it's depiction of violence. The scene were he gets beaten up in a gay bar and manages to get to the juke box and play an all American record was very daring particularly here in Britain. I thought that George Peppard made an excellent private eye, cleaning up someone else's crap, I think he compares very well with Humphrey Bogart. I haven't seen the film for years and doubt very much if it will ever be shown in it's original release form here in the UK.

c532c If you've only seen PJ on Television, you haven't really seen it. In the late 60s, censorship was temporarily relaxed: Ratings were "G" for Nothing Offensive, and "M" in case there was anything objectionable. With the wisdom of their breed, Studio execs quickly realized they should try to get away with as much as possible, and films like GUNN, DEADLIER THAN THE MALE and NIGHT OF THE FOLLOWING DAY were filled with raunchy (for those days) sex and violence. However, with an eye to TV showing, the studio execs also had alternate scenes shot for these films and the resulting Tv showings were tepid at best. The movie version of PJ has a seamy, tasteless feel totally appropriate to a cheap Private Eye film.
