Tough Guys Don't Dance

Coming off of a two-week bender, lifelong loser Tim Madden (Ryan O’Neal) found not just his ex (Isabella Rossellini) shacking up with the local police chief (Wings Hauser) but his car soaked in blood and a woman's severed head in his outdoor drug stash. With only his dying dad (Lawrence Tierney) to help, he must piece together what happened during his fugue to avoid death row. Norman Mailer wrote and directed this gritty adaptation of his novel; Debra Stipe, Penn Jillette co-star. 110 min.
