What connects Renaissance parlor games, 18th century French swing sets, Go, Spacewar!, pinball,
Chess and Wolfenstein 3D? John Sharp, a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design in

4. ICE-Vision: The Friends of Eddie Coyle (Peter Yates, 1973)
Thursday, February 10 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150

Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE’s informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.

"Yates' film, based on a virtually-all-dialogue novel by George V. Higgins, is hardly a thrillathon in
the car-chase days of "Bullitt," "The French Connection," "The Parallax View" or "The Seven-Ups."
But its elusive stasis is what makes it remarkable. The story is structured almost completely as a
series of secret, mano-a-mano backroom discussions, each unfailingly placed in a grungy urban
locale of exactly the sort in which no one ever shot movies even five years earlier. Robert Mitchum,
lugging himself around like an old bulldog, is Coyle, a petty Boston crook with an extra set of
broken-finger knuckles, trying to at least appear to go straight even as he contemplates ratting on
one of his associates to get out of a felony stint he has to face in New Hampshire." -IFC
