| Maverick - TV Series - 1957-1962 | |
 | A TV show that aired from 1957-1962, MAVERICK was an unusually formatted show. The three leads rarely appeared in episodes together; instead they took it in turns to steal the limelight by featuring in a constantly-rotating format that saw each actor taking turns as the lead man in each episode. The boys, Brett (James Garner of THE ROCKFORD FILES infamy), Bart, (Jack Kelly) and Bo Maverick (Roger Moore, AKA James Bond) were poker players who drifted across the country, trying to make a living from the game while also encountering a fair share of trouble along the way. This release in the TV FAVORITES series includes three episodes from the show. |
| Two For The Money - 2005 | |
 | featuring Al Pacino, Rene Russo, and Matthew McConaughey, provides a most unexpected twist in its thrilling tale of high rolling bookie cons and sports gamblers. Brandon Lang (McConaughey) stars as a college football great permanently downed by an irreparable injury. He discovers a second talent, however, in predicting a game’s winner and loser--a talent that makes him very attractive to Walter Abrams (Pacino), one of the country’s leading sports betting consultants. Abrams takes on Lang as his protégé, moving him to Manhattan and allowing him to grow used to the lavish lifestyle. But, the seemingly perfect father/son relationship gradually unravels as Lang loses his touch and Abrams seeks too much control. The ensuing action, enrapturing even Abrams’ wife Toni (Russo), resolves in a stunning revelation of con after con, leaving viewers to wonder whom to trust. Combining the intriguing and often illegal world of sports gambling with the solid story of con against con, TWO FOR THE MONEY makes for a satisfying thriller. |
