Magnum Heat (1972)

Magnum Heat: Directed by Robert Culp. With Bill Cosby, Robert Culp, Ta-Ronce Allen, Rosalind Cash. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp (“I Spy”) are united again as private eyes in this Walter Hill-scripted “film noir.” Searching for a missing girl, they find themselves involved with vicious criminals and precipitating a string of deaths.

“Fans of neo-noir should take note of Hickey u0026amp; Boggs, made in 1972. It has a tart and tangy early script from the great Walter Hill and stars Bill Cosby and Robert Culp as two private dicks who are so down on their luck they canu0026#39;t afford to pay their phone bill. The I-Spy duo give excellent performances Bill Cosby is great. This is my favorite Cosby film. Robert Culp, recently deceased,also directed, and he shows a very sure hand behind the camera.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was quite surprised by the quality of this film after hearing about it for a number of years. Hickey u0026amp; Boggs has a gritty downbeat vibe and it feels more desperate and low-rent and real than most private detective movies. A forgotten gem from the 70s.This is certainly one of my favorite films.”
