Very Enjoyable James Garner Comedy With An Edge August 20, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
In the mid-70's James Garner & Louis Gossett teamed up in two memorable episodes of "The Rockford Files". Before that, however, they starred in "The Skin Game" with Susan Clark (best known as the mother on the t.v. show "Webster"). The Skin game is a smart comedy which also functions as an effective critique of the institution of slavery. All three stars are appealing and Garner does what he did best in "Maverick" and Rockford -- the con game. The con here is simple but enjoyable. The movie includes good performances by several familiar character actors of the era and features Ed Asner as the slave-trading bad guy. Due to "political correctness" I don't know if this movie could get made today, which is a shame. Highly recommended!

Casting Could Not Have Been Better August 18, 2001
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Garner and Gossit play off each other with the rhythm and nuance of a fine orchestra. I can't think of any reason to give this 4 stars instead of 5 other than the fact that there have been so many GREAT movies that I'm not sure where the cut off should be...perhaps slightly above this fine film? Or perhaps I'm wrong and it qualifies for the 5 star level. In any case, if you have not seen this movie, do so by all means. It is highly entertaining.

I was impressed by the willingness of the producers to use the attitudes and language true to the era. Lou Gossett is superb as the "slave" as he switches from groveling chattel to Garner's equal and Edward Asner as the sadistic bully.
