| | Poorly orchestrated | Nachitzin 10/28/2009 | | Neither the Actors from Latin America who were not themelves Latinos, The Director or James Edward Olmos, had a clue what happens at a Catholic Graveside. After the filming an anonymous voice is heard saying a "Hail Mary" instead of the dialogue presented to the real Roman Catholic Priest "Rev. L. Ignacio Gameros, M.Div." playing the part. Too many instances of this kind of sloppy filming when it comes to Catholic Rite and Ritual have been and are witnessed on a regular basis. |

Short Eyes 1977 R, 104 min.
Genre: Drama
aka: Slammer
Director: Robert M. Young
Cast: Bruce Davison, Jose Perez, Nathan George, Don Blakely, Shawn Elliott, Mark Margolis, Curtis Mayfield, Miguel Pinero, Tito Goya, Joseph Carberry, Bob Maroff, Keith Davis, Bob O'Connell, Richard Matamoros, Freddy Fender
Based on Miguel Pinero's play, this is a powerful story about prison life. Short Eyes is prison lingo for "child molester," and Bruce Davison takes on that role as prisoner Clark Davis at "The Tombs"–the Manhattan House of Detention–whose fellow detainees treat him as they would the lowest form of life. Many in the cast are not professional actors; instead they are former convicts, and this adds to the believability of the story.
