Episode 121 ~ Over the Edge (1979)

At the end of the day there are quite a lot of movies we've just plain missed out on. There were so many movies released over the course of the 20th century that we will never see, never mind get to on Cannon Cruisers.

Thankfully 1979's Over the Edge is not one of those movies. It's also not the kind we cover here a whole lot, though it does very much fit in with what we do.

This is a drama that is played seriously enough to be effective but not overly exploitative or grim to turn off those who want entertainment with surprising substance. It's thoughtful without being preachy, and is definitely not the sort of thing that could be made today.
