Editorial Review:

Description:
Ex-crime reporter Raymond St. Ives has elegant taste, a yen for gambling and an unfinished novel in his typewriter. When he crosses paths with sinister Oliver Procane, he gets something else: a price on his head. St. Ives is a hard-boiled update of classic mystery thrillers, particularly The Maltese Falcon. Charles Bronson is smoothly right as the clever title character, at odds with petty crooks and high-rollers, among them Maximilian Schell as a whining lackey and Jacqueline Bisset as a modern femme fatale. But the show is stolen by John Houseman as the devilish Procane, a worthy successor to Sydney Greenstreet. Elisha Cook, Daniel J. Travanti, Jeff Goldblum and Robert Englund are also featured in this sleek, funny caper.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ross Thomas and Charles Bronson make an uneasy movie. Better stick with the Ross Thomas books
Ross Thomas was one of America's great thriller/mystery/political skullduggery writers. He wrote 20 books under his own name and five as Oliver Bleeck. One would think he'd have been fertile ground for Hollywood to till. In fact, only one of his books made it to the screen, The Procane Chronicle under the Bleeck name. The movie St. Ives, directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Charles Bronson, is the result. We can see why Hollywood never tried again. It's not that St. Ives is a poor movie. With ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Likable Bronson Yarn
Here's a mellow Bronson caper with nice subtle humor in the script, even if director J. Lee Thomson doesn't do much to highlight it. (Fortunately, "guest star" Maximillian Schell is along to really sell it with some witty line readings.) The movie doesn't put you on the edge of your seat, but it doesn't bore either and Jackie looks sensational and she has some cool action scenes.

(Spoiler alert - when an Oscar-winning best actor shows up for a glorified walk-on, he's likely to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great 70's fare...
If your a fan of Bronson and 70's movies in general then pick up a copy of this very un-Bronson movie and immerse yourself in simpler times.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - DECENT, NOT GREAT
The best thing going for this movie is the sizzling mid-70's sound track. The story is not bad, but not riveting either. The acting isn't bad, and it has that retro vibe that is interesting as a period piece (loved the cameo by Jeff Goldblum as a young thug), but Death Wish was more entertaining, and for crime drama, I've seen Starsky and Hutch, or Kojak episodes that were better. 3.5 stars.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - "He's clean. He's mean. He's a go-between."
Although little loved by fans of Ross Thompson's novel, St. Ives is an entertaining thriller with largely unrealised aspirations to being seen as a throwback to Warners' 1940s detective movies. Charles Bronson's the heavy gambler, retired crime writer and would-be novelist of the title, hired by John Houseman's gentleman crook to act as go-between to recover a series of stolen incriminating volumes only to stumble across dead bodies in tumble dryers and burglars who've taken the shortcut to the sidewalk ...
