Talk:Mike's Murder

Red ink on the Debra Winger page
On the Debra Winger page the film Mike's Murder is in the dreaded red, and it says 'page does not exist', but it does so if anyone knows how to get it to link up with this page I would appreciate it Sayerslle (talk) 23:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Intended to be told in a non-linear fashion?
I don't know if this is authoritative enough for Wikipedia, but I find it really interesting.

According to the blog Obscure One-Sheet (http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2009/08/mikes-murder-1984-james-bridges.html),

 * Mike's Murder was originally intended to be told in a non-linear fashion, nearly 20 years prior to Chris Nolan's Memento, a mystery built on this premise. However, after testing poorly with audiences, the film was shelved at the behest of the studio and re-edited into chronological order, with Joe Jackson's original songs and score mostly replaced by a more conventional John Barry score (I love Barry, but this is second-rate Barry to be sure). Jack Larson, longtime partner of the late Bridges, possesses a print of the original cut, said by those who have seen it to be far superior to the release version.
