Movie Reviews of Concrete Cowboys
Movie Review: Footloose in Nashville
Summary: 5 Stars
Made in 1979, this lively TV-movie spun off a brief (seven-episode) TV series that was probably instrumental in getting Tom Selleck his defining role as Thomas Magnum. It also has a definite Simon & Simon - Season One-esque feel to it, being as it is the story of two unlikely and completely opposite partners and the more-than-it-seems adventure they find themselves falling into. J. D. Reed (played by country singer Jerry Reed, who does unexpectedly well in the role simply by being himself) and Will Eubanks (Selleck) are out of a ranch in Montana and on their way to Hollywood when J. D. loses their stake in a crooked poker game and forces them to hop the first freight they find--which turns out to be bound for "the place [J. D. wants] his ashes scattered," Music City, USA--Nashville, TN. Contacting local PI Lonnie Grimes (Randolph Powell), whom they met some time earlier while he was on vacation, they are offered his apartment and car while he's out of town, on condition that they pick up "a package" for him and keep it safe till he can claim it. Then a client (Morgan Fairchild) mistakes them for him and asks them to help her find her missing sister, a wannabe country star who's been reported dead but whose grave seems to be nonexistent. Operating on instinct and guessery, the pair soon realize there's more going on than meets the eye, as they deal with a hostile plainclothesman (veteran Gene Evans), a floating crap game run by a very nasty fellow named Hatcheck (Joseph Burke), a hired killer, and a Rashomon - Criterion Collection-like confusion of different versions of who Carla was and what she did.
Selleck's performance (he's the A. J. Simon of this team, cautious and unwilling to pretend he and his partner are something they're not, and intriguingly resolved to "read all the books in the 'Cyclopedia"--when J. D. laments that he'll "be eighty, bald and toothless time you get done," he replies that "there won't be a smarter eighty-bald-and-toothless old goat in America!") is the high point of the movie; you can see how some of Will's character found its way into Thomas Magnum. (And his reading at least once saves them from a term in jail--"It's all there in the C's, civil, common, and criminal law," he says smugly.) Daring, down-home J. D. balances him with impulse and a combination of enthusiasm, castles-in-the-air plans for the future, and laid-back relaxation. Several country stars--Roy Acuff, Ray Stevens, and Barbara Mandrell--appear as themselves to add versimilitude to the story. With plenty of wild action and a sympathetic hero-duo (viewers who enjoyed The Cowboy Way are likely to find it particularly to their taste), it's a little-known but very enjoyable action-comedy.
