 KILL THE DUTCHMAN! by Paul Sann
Abe Landau, with blood spurting out of a severed artery in his neck and a hole in his shooting arm, staggered after him pumping fire, and behind Landau, on rubbery legs, came the unbelievable Rosenkrantz.
Landau somehow got all the way to the street, still pressing the trigger, while his quarry, finding that his confederate and their wheelman had sped off without him, ran west toward Park Place.
Landau was outside the tavern only a second or two when he began to waver, reeled toward a garbage can near the Military Park Diner a few feet away, and sat down on it like a guy who had one too many.

Landau was Schultz's most trusted employee, often given tasks that required coolness and cunning rather than gunfire and brutality.
Landau fired all the bullets from his.45, none of which did any serious damage to his targets; as Weiss and Piggy sped away in the getaway car, Landau sat down on a trash can outside the door of the Palace Chophouse.

When he was paroled in 1964, after almost 23 years in prison, his brother Abe and his wife Catherine met him at the prison.

The reasonably-priced DVD has the wide-screen movie, an excellent original 15-minute long 1948 promotional film made by the Tucker company (with or without commentary by FFC), a mediocre short "making of" collection of cast/crew interview clips mostly from 1988, a decent commentary by FFC, and the usual setup features.

More than anyone, said Dr. London, Abe taught us the causes, the seemingly innocent time bombs of dinner conversations and bedtime stories that touched on the superiority of the people around the table, beside the bed and in it.
Holocaust survivor Abe, said the artist, knew that those lessons remain largely unlearned.
Abe, he said, believed in the God who made everything and everyone in his likeness, holy, to love and to be loved.

Coppola surely related to and sympathized with Tucker as a visionary underdog, and so this stylish, energetic film envisions "the man and his dream" in idealistic terms--an unabashed optimist (played by Jeff Bridges) who realizes his vision through blind faith and tenacity.
Martin Landau gives a superb, heartbreaking performance as an associate who desperately wants to share Tucker's enthusiasm, but knows that corporate wolves are knocking at the door and will soon burst in with fangs bared.
Joan Allen is equally good as Tucker's supportive wife, and the film's combination of dazzling costumes, production design, and the fabulous Tucker itself (of which only 50 models were made) creates an infectious atmosphere of postwar optimism.
