Jane greer against all odds

There have been too many sweet girls in thrillers. What we need are more no-good, double-dealing broads who can cross their legs and break your heart. You may remember the original movie. Mitchum and Douglas smoked all the way through every scene, and they were always blowing sinister, aggressive clouds of smoke at each other.

Against all odds movie 2020

The movie was shot so there was always a lot of light on the place in midair where their smoke was aimed. Anyway, if you remember that movie, you remember that Kirk Douglas was a hoodlum and Robert Mitchum was a guy who would take a job for a buck, and Douglas hired Mitchum to track down his missing girlfriend, who was played by Jane Greer.

After Mitchum found Greer, they had a big love affair — or so Mitchum thought. But Greer, that no-good, two-timing, double-crossing broad, liked security more than passion. And it was a real inspiration to tell that story again, since it makes for an intriguing, complicated, interesting romance. This time, the bad guy is a gambler, played by James Woods.

His girlfriend Rachel Ward is the daughter of the owner of a pro-football team played by Jane Greer, of all people. There is a lot of plot in this movie — probably too much.
