A Bullet for Pretty Boy ** (1970, Fabian Forte, Jocelyn Lane, Astrid Warner) – Classic Movie Review 7718

One-time pop star Fabian Forte enjoys himself as Thirties real-life nasty mobster Charles ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd, creating quite a psychopathic ogre.

Producer-director Larry Buchanan’s 1970 B-gangster movie A Bullet for Pretty Boy, made in the wake of Bonnie and Clyde, is acceptable and hard-hitting, from a time of heavy violence in the movies. For a low-budget ($350,000) B-movie, it is an impressive production.

Also in the cast are Jocelyn Lane, Astrid Warner, Michael Haynes, Adam Roarke, Robert Glenn, Jeff Alexander, Anne MacAdams, Camilla Carr, Desmond Dhooge, Bill Thurman, Hugh Feagin, Jessie Lee Fulton, James B Harrell, Gene Ross, Ed Lo Russo, Charlie Dell, Frank de Benedetto, Eddie Thomas, Ethan Allen, Troy Hoskins and Morgan Fairchild.

A Bullet for Pretty Boy is directed by Larry Buchanan, runs 91 minutes, is made and released by American International Pictures, is written by Henry Rosenbaum, from a story by Larry Buchanan and Tony Huston, is shot by James R Davidson, is produced by Larry Buchanan and is scored by Harley Hatcher.
