Open Mic Night at the Movies

The Last Detail keeps it real, almost to a fault

Later Tater Films Season 1 Episode 55

How long does edge last? What won't you watch Jack Nicholson do? Does realism help or hurt?  And how big should a hotel room be?  In this episode Sean is joined by Timm and Jeremy to talk about 1973's The Last Detail, an adaptation of the Darryl Ponicsan book about 2 sailors assigned to escort a kleptomaniac, junior sailor to naval prison.  Considered at the time to be Jack Nicholson's greatest performance, The Last Detail delivers warmth and humor alongside utter hopelessness in a 104 minute package.
