Movie Reviews of Electra Glide in Blue

Movie Review: Another gem from the Platinum Age
Summary: 4 Stars

While I might have liked just a bit more intricacy in the story, 'Electra Glide in Blue' is still a pleasure from end to end. Beautifully shot and gratifyingly intelligent (a product of a politically polarized era that resolutely, and correctly, refuses to take sides), the primary reason to watch the film is for the performance of Robert Blake, who exudes a degree of charm and formidable screen presence here that came as a revelation to me. Why this man didn't get more and better work is a mystery. Blake carries this film like the Olympic torch. It's a really wonderful, outstanding performance that shows that Blake belonged in the big leagues, even in THE age of heavy-hitter American screen actors. I'm not knocking his TV work, but he was way too good for TV.

The supporting cast is also exceptional, as is the cinematography and writing. Really, the only thing wrong with this DVD is the fact that it makes you ache to be seeing this movie on the big screen. (More supplements would have been nice too, but, oh well.) Bravissimo!

Summary of Electra Glide in Blue

Robert Blake "displays a superabundance of magnetism and machismo" (Cue) as a good cop on the ultimate bad bike in this "powerful" (Boxoffice) film featuring "striking action sequences"(Leonard Maltin) and a "bravura rock score" (Los Angeles Times). Set against the breathtaking visuals of Monument Valley, this mesmerizing film is your ticket to open-road excitement!The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Blake) wants is to become a detectiveto wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes on the case and proves his stuff! But as soon as he's promoted, the corruption he must tolerate makes the Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, where he makes another shocking discovery - one that could cost him his life!
