This week, we discuss two crime films from the 1970s.

The first is Mikey and Nicky (1976), written and directed by Elaine May. It stars John Cassavetes as a desperate small-time mobster and Peter Falk as his longtime, childhood friend.

The second is The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), starring Robert Mitchum and Peter Boyle and directed by Peter Yates. The screenplay was adapted from the 1970 novel by George V. Higgins, who also wrote Cogan’s Trade, the novel which later became the 2012 Andrew Dominik film Killing Them Softly.
