In this film,Patrick Duffy gives an endearing and very realistic performance ,portraying Harry Baranski in this tale of a stuggling musician in Buffalo,N.Y.Filmed in 1984,this flick exudes the vibe of that era,especially with catch phrases like"home free"and"you just a chump man",not to mention the aura of downtown '80's Buffalo and Lackawana.Harry gets sucked into doing dirty work for the Fat Man(Fred Keller),the owner of an antique shop who has a lusting for stained glass "like they don't make anymore".To get his sax out of hock,Harry agrees to rob some houses.One house in particular is the estate of a woman who just lost her record executive husband.Inside this house,Harry discovers this mans Charley Parker jazz collection,which he starts lusting after.But what he lusts after most is the picture of the mans wife,Diane,which he sneaks off with along with some stained glass and a valuable ring and love letters he finds in the lady's room.What happens next after this turn of events is a whirlwind of jealousy,lust, greed,and just plain backstabbing.I'm not giving the rest of this movie away because that would be a definite spoiler.All i'm saying is rent and watch this movie on a Friday or Saturday night because it's one of those types of movies that you sleep good by after watching.
