January 27 movie: Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round. Caper movie starring James Coburn. (I almost typed "Charles Coburn" by accident. That would have been a very different movie!) The pacing was off, kind of draggy, and the character development kind of flat. But I still really enjoyed it. The best thing about the movie was the footage of the Los Angeles Airport. An amazing mid-century structure. Does it still look like that? If so, I need to go book a flight!
[ETA: I forgot to mention, the movie includes a young Harrison Ford in his first movie role. He plays a bellhop with one or two lines.]
