I have only seen this movie one time but still remember it very well. I like all three of the adult leads and none of them have ever disappointed me. I have always enjoyed the performances of Don Murray. This one stands out because because of his overall good guy typecasting has probably kept him from playing many villains. Many actors say it is more fun to play villains when the part is right. Don Murray plays the mob hit man after Richard Crenna and family because Richard Crenna was undercover for the FBI until his cover was blown and he and his family had to go into witness protection. If I remember correctly, all went well until their daughter decided to contact her boyfriend and the mob picked up their trail.
Returning to where I started from; Don Murray stands out as the hit man. I get the impression he was trying to overcome his being typecast as a good guy in this and the part he had in Planet of he Apes. Another of his movies, in which he was tied to the mob but I cannot locate it is Borgia Stick. These movies show that when Mr. Murray got the chance to be a villain, he could knock it out of the park.
I see he has come out of retirement to be in Twin Peaks and I hope it goes well for him. Since he is about 88, I wish him many more years of good health and hope he is enjoying retirement and hope to see him again on occasion.
