Steelyard Blues


Steelyard Blues is a 1973 American comedy crime film directed by Alan Myerson and starring Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Peter Boyle.

Plot

It concerns the lives of a group of misfits trying to find a happier life against the norms of society. Donald Sutherland plays an ex-con with a passion for demolition derbies. He has wrecked almost every possible car, but violates his parole when confronted by a 1950 Studebaker. This embarrasses his brother, a politically ambitious district attorney. Jane Fonda plays a prostitute with an off-on relationship with Sutherland's character. The gang tries to get an old Consolidated PBY Catalina plane flying, and much humor ensues.

Cast

In 1979, the film was broadcast on NBC under the title, Final Crash.
