I Eat Movies #29: Rod Town (Steiger in the City) - No Way to Treat a Lady (1968) / The January Man (1989)

If it feels like forever well, that's because it sorta has been after a busy unexpected break but, we're back on the saddle with I Eat Movies #29: Rod Town (Steiger in the City) - No Way to Treat a Lady (1968) / The January Man (1989). Honoring one of cinema's most intensely committed actors, we dive into Rod's rough childhood that included him running away from home at age 16 before joining the Navy and ultimately making his way onto the silver screen. Highlighting a peak career Steiger performance following his Academy Award winning turn in In the Heat of the Night, Rod swings big as a serial killer with mommy issues who dons several different personas throughout the feature. Supported by the always great George Segal as a rare Jewish detective, this black comedy still feels as fresh as the day it debuted. Next up, we jump ahead in time with hopes that Dino's nostalgic affection for The January Man can sway Mike. Boasting an impressive cast including, Kevin Kline as a reinstated rebellious detective tasked with bringing a strangler to justice, Susan Sarandon, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Harvey Keitel, Alan Rickman, Danny Aiello and loud-mouthed Steiger as NYC's mayor whose shouting match with Aiello is a major highlight are also along for the ride. Adapt to that Empire State of Mind and join us in celebrating one of the most versatile talents to ever do it in I Eat Movies #29: Rod Town (Steiger in the City) - No Way to Treat a Lady (1968) / The January Man (1989).
