DVD Reviews of Little Miss Marker (1980)
DVD Review: Good movie let down by DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is vintage Walter Matthau, playing his trademark sourpuss personality. Based on a story by Damon Runyon (the same author whose stories formed the basis for the classic Guys and Dolls), the film is populated by the usual Runyonesque cast of endearing, gold-hearted Depression-era lowlife characters. Matthau plays Sorrowful Jones, a bookie who takes the Kid (Sara Stimson) as a marker for a bet placed by her father, who promptly goes out and drowns himself. Despite his flinty exterior, Jones has a heart and spends the rest of the movie trying to cope with his new status as father-by-default to the adorable Kid. In this he is aided and abetted by his faithful sidekick, played admirably by Bob Newhart. Julie Andrews as the love interest adds a touch of class. The cast is rounded off by Tony Curtis, playing a less-than-menacing gangster who provides the third side of the love triangle.
The plot is carried entirely by Matthau, whose deadpan delivery of his lines is impeccable. The humour does not insult the viewer's intelligence. All in all, a film worth watching.
The only quibble I have is with the DVD, which is execrable. There are no special features at all - not even a menu for selection of scenes. What we have here is basically a VHS in DVD format. One expects more nowadays.
