Electra Glide in Blue (Modern Trailer)
Electra Glide In Blue (1973)
Modern Trailer Edit by Dan McBride
Part of my trailer project - breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked films.
Mainly to spread awareness of these great films and hopefully inspire more people to seek them out.
Director - James William Guercio
Synopsis - Ambitious but diminutive motorcycle cop John Wintergreen patrols the Arizona highways, yearning for promotion to the homicide division.
Thanks to his revelation that a supposed suicide is actually a murder, his wish is granted.
Electra Glide is nothing short of another criminally overlooked gem from my favorite decade of cinema.
The film involves a murder, but the detective story is really just background, as it is more of a character study about these cops on the fringes of the desert - some idealistic, some broken, and others morally corrupt. It is shot by famed cinematographer Conrad Hall and even resembles a western at times. The central performance by Robert Blake is really fascinating and unique, one that will stay with me for quite a while. The original trailer never steered me anywhere near this film, so I can only hope that a fresh take on it will get people looking at it in a new light. -- DM
