You’ll find the story of a guy selling guns and he gets caught up playing both sides of the street. “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” filmmakers did great casting with Mitchum because he was 55 at filming and that’s a great age to match the character. He wasn’t some old guy trying to be young again – much less a young guy trying to be older. After that? You’ll find that a great supporting cast that includes Peter Boyle, Richard Jordan and Steven Keats makes for a wonderful film … Watch It!
