Based on the book by John Godey (pen name of Morton Freedgood) and brilliantly adapted by Peter Stone, the film stars Walter Matthau as Zach Garber, a transit transit cop whose train is taken hostage by Robert Shaw as Mr. Blue, and his three henchmen, Mr. Green, Mr. Grey, and Mr. Brown.Duane Swierczynski (California Bear) and Keith Gordon join Mike to discuss the film and its two remakes while actor Sal Viscuso talks about his role in the original film.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.
