Tonight's Moving Pictures feature presentation was produced by Jeremy Thomas and stars Gene Hackman

In 1925, Jack McCann makes a fabulous gold strike in Canada, giving him all the wealth he needs. Twenty years on he lives on his own Caribbean island with his alcoholic wife, tempestuous daughter and her playboy husband. But McCann refuses to heed the warnings that turning down offers from a Miami mafioso may have deadly consequences. This uncompromising, visionary film was based on a true murder case and is very rarely seen.
Director Nicolas Roeg • FILMS: pages 55-64
