1. What is the business case for opening this franchise unit?

The business case is centered on a low-overhead, home-based event service franchise that targets affluent residential communities with a high-demand, personalized product.

Minor classic that pits Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman in thriller.
A terrific neo noir with touches of Hitchcock, “Prime Cut” revels in the cliches of many of the genres- the criminal with the heart of gold and the sleazy underworld of the bad guys. Spoilers: Set in the Heartland, the film. Follows Nick (Lee Marvin) an enforcer hired by the Irish Mob who is send to collect from Mary Ann (Gene Hackman-really!) the owner of a meat packing planet who has a prostitution racket on the side for young and underage girls. Mary Ann had been stiffing the Mob on a debt and each enforcer has been killed and sent back in an interesting way. Nick is horrified at the prostitution ring that Mary Ann runs; they have history as well and that history plays into the animosity of both men as they fight it out Ina thrilling conclusion. Towards the end of his career as an enforcer, Nick disliked the way his world has turned out. Michael Richtie was at the beginning of his career as a director but was clearly in control as a director staging some thrilling scenes with echoes of Hitchcock’s classics “North by Northwest” and other classics. Richtie doesn’t ape Hitch so much as may the sequences work in the context of his film. The 4 K and Blu-ray look terrific from a fresh transfer of the original camera negative. There’s virtually no issues with the films. Colors are strong, detail excellent and it looks of its time without any messing about with the image. The mono audio pushes dialogue up front but there is a nice, robust feel to the rest of the mono soundtrack. The film has two commentary tracks both very good (one has to use the audio selection to hear them as I didn’t see it in the main menu for the 4K). We find out, for example, that Hackman took his second billed role because he had just finished “The French Connection” and hadn’t worked for six months. Richtie and Marvin butted heads because Richtie wanted Marvin to do a love scene with the much younger Sissy Spacek in her debut. Marvin felt uncomfortable with that because of their age difference (she was 23 and Marvin was 49). A Blu-ray (that was previously released a couple of years back) is also included. Kino has done a fine job of brining this minor classic to 4K and Blu-ray. One may feel like they need to take a shower after watching the film because of how sleazy Hackman plays an already nasty character like Mary Ann. Putting this in the heartland with all the corruption of the big city adds an element that is missing from many films like this. The corruption at heart of Mary Ann and the community he has tainted by his presence points to the rot that was growing in America at the time.

RIP Gene Hackman…Holy $?#! This movie!
Prime Cut is honestly more a 3 1/2 star movie however KINO gets 5 stars for releasing a beautiful transfer of this mean & nasty 70s crime drama that’s as violent as it is weird. Hackman as the Kansas City Gangster who makes enemies into hotdogs before sending them back, draws the ire of Chicago enforcer Marvin to collect a large sum of money from Mary Ann - Hackman’s name by the way. The Blu Ray doesn’t have much but if you like sleazy, mean, & odd 70s crime thrillers, take a hefty bite of this PRIME CUT.

Solid example of 70's filmmaking
I had forgotten that I had this film in a pile to "watch later" and finally did and was glad I did. This overlooked 1972 film from director Michael Richie while short on run time and story development is still a worthy viewing experience.Mr.Richie went onto a fine career doing such films as The Candidate,The Bad News Bears,Semi-Tough and a few notable comedies like Fletch and Wildcats.He also did Student Bodies which he had his named removed from so nobody's perfect.The film has a great cast it stars veteran tough guy actor Lee Marvin as Nick a mob fixer who is assigned a job to reel in a renegade hood. This hood is a guy named Mary Ann( I kid you not) and he runs a drug and white slavery ring out in rural Kansas City.Played to the cusp of over acting by Gene Hackman Mary Ann uses a meat packing/slaughterhouse plant as a front for his illegal activities.Mary Ann has a dim witted brother called Weenie(at least not Ginger to his brother Mary Ann thankfully) who acts as the muscle played by Gregory Walcott.Nick is a city slicker based out of Chicago who is quiet,mean looking and well dressed.Mary Ann is loud and obnoxious and a country boy .Mary Ann has angered the Chicago mob by stopping his payments and going rogue.He's also grounded up previous gangsters from Chi-Town who were sent to persuade him into sausages and sent them back to Chicago in bundles of meat.So Nick ,a trusted sidekick driver and 3 "green" young wannabees head from Chicago to Kansas City to see what can be done to correct the situation.What you get besides a lot of violence is the classic city versus country scenario. Slick Nick and company pop into Mary Ann's barn where various young girls are being drugged and penned like pigs or cows would be.One of the girls is played by Sissy Spacek(you might have heard of her) and another is played by 70's B movie starlet Janit Baldwin( Gator Bait,Ruby) .Nick is not amused by MA's little gambit and informs him that he's taking one of the girls as down payment for what he owes.He chooses Poppy (Spacek) a pretty little blond who along with Violet was raised in a Missouri orphanage .Said orphanage also was a front for breeding future girls to be sold as sex slaves.MA says that he'll make good on the money he owes but of course you KNOW he's not going to.Violence erupts Nick and Poppy are on the lamb and the rest of Nick's associate's are either killed or on the run as well.Nick and Poppy have a memorable scene in a wheat field where a hired hand tries to grind the two up with a giant wheat harvester .This scene is the most memorable thing in Prime Cut.You feel the fear of 2 people lost in a wheat field and a giant combine machine trying to rip them to shreds.The film has great cinematography and the colors are top notch.Something about 70's cinema and the whole style of shooting makes it stand out.As a last twist in the story Mary Ann is married to Clarabelle (Angel Tompkins) who once was involved with Nick.Will she aid Nick in bringing down her husband or stay loyal to him? This film could've used more story building and feels rushed at times.It's also the film debut of the young Sissy Spacek who's good here.She play's naive and resourceful very good here.Poppy her character reminds me of the character played by Jennifer Jason Leigh in Miami Blues. Both have that "are you kidding me" sense of naiveness that makes them endearing.Baldwin also made her debut here and is less memorable but fine for what's asked of Violet.To sum it up if you want a fine nights viewing I recommend Prime Cut.The cast is stellar ,the look awesome and the action intense.

An important restoration
These three films contain so much beauty, and so much heartache, it's hard to know where to begin. First off, if your a ciniphile, or criterion collector, it's pretty much a must to own these newly restored films. I believe the original prints where very damaged , or completely lost in a fire, so the restoration is nothing short of amazing. The films do look older then they are, but the clarity and visual beauty is not diminished here at all. The films basically follow a young boy Apu throughput his life, growing up Bengali in India , and the trials and tribulations he faces from his poor rural behinings, to his education and later move to Calcutta. On my initial viewing of these films, I thought the heartache was too much, and quite honestly put them out of my mind, but they actually never left, due to the power of them, and the vision of this fantastic director, and the talented actors. Upon reviewing them, at least 3 times each, I realize there is much beauty and hope, along with the pain..in these quite frankly incredible films.
