The Late Show Reviews


Publisher: CinemaSerf
I recall seeing this at the cinema at the time, and what a fuss there was. Not about the movie - but about the whole CB radio phenomena and, of course, the C.W. McCall song. Ernest Borgnine turns in quite a good effort as the savvy, but crooked, sheriff "Lyle" who finally pushes trucker "Rubber Duck" (Kris Kristofferson) and a few of his cohorts over the edge. A bar fight and a few heavily bruised cops necessitates them needing to flee to New Mexico and along the way their half dozen trucks start to attract others like magnets - and it's soon easily a mile long and posing an interesting problem for the authorities as the media interest builds. It doesn't do the convoy any harm, either, that the cops think the lead machine is packed full of highly explosive chemicals. Along for the ride is an out-of-sorts Ali McGraw ("Melissa") who really doesn't seem to be enjoying herself at all as this initially quite entertaining story becomes just as uninteresting and processional as the line of lorries itself. There are a few characterful supporting contributions from Madge Sinclair and Burt Young but for the main part, this is a film about a song and the more you hear that refrain the less impactful any of that remains.

The Late Show is a British television arts magazine programme that was broadcast on BBC Two weeknights at 11.15pm—directly after Newsnight—often referred to as the "graveyard slot" in terms of television scheduling. The series was commissioned by BBC Two Controller Alan Yentob, who had a background in serious arts documentaries, but the production team — led by Michael Jackson — were mostly from youth programming backgrounds including Network 7. The series combined a number of format elements from earlier BBC arts magazine programmes such as Monitor and Late Night Line-Up. With the cancellation of The Old Grey Whistle Test the series became one of the few spaces on BBC television for live music performances. The series originally featured a round-table discussion hosted by Clive James on Friday nights. However this format was dropped after the second season. The show pulled in heavyweight popular music acts live or pre-recorded, including Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Public Enemy, Joni Mitchell, The Stone Roses, Dick Dale, and Jeff Buckley. At the time, The Late Show came under the now defunct Music and Arts Department at the BBC, which also produced the long-form Omnibus and Arena programmes.
