Larry Karaszewski on “Cold Turkey”
Aug 20, 2010
Trailer 471 of 694
Nicotine addicted residents of a midwestern town try to give up smoking for a cash prize.This forgotten comic gem was TV titan Norman Lear's only directorial effort. Shot in 1969, it went unreleased until 1971, when it proved to be a surprise hit. One of the darkest, most despairing social satires of the Nixon era, with a fabulous cast of tv comedy favorites. This is a mostly textless trailer made for foreign use.

"Phoned it in so intensely, you can almost hear the dial tones" That line is better than anything in this film..

I agree with Bernard that the distributor's desire to remove their logo from film is a good indicator that the director has made something worth seeing. Maybe that fact should've been included in the trailer- perfect anti-Valentine's Day flick

Agreed, Brian. I always appreciate the background you provide and, yes, Mr Connor did the best he could with what he was given...
