Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

garyldibert TITLE: LADY ICE open in theaters on July 13 1973 and the running time was 94 minutes. LADY ICE is a 1973 crime film about an insurance investigator who becomes involved with a wealthy young woman he suspects of fencing stolen jewelry. The film was directed by Tom Gries,STARRING: Donald Sutherland as Andy Hammon, Jennifer O'Neill as Paula Booth, Robert Duvall as Ford Pierce, Patrick Magee as Paul Booth , and Jon Cypher as Eddie Stell SUMMARY: The movie opens with this huge man arriving by plane at the airport in Miami. Andy Hammon greets the man in his hotel room. Hammon takes what the man is carrying and handcuffs the man to the toilet. Hamman works as a mechanic for Paul Booth. The next day Paula Booth brings her car into have it service when Andy makes a play for her. Paula goes up and tells daddy and then daddy has Andy come to his office. Daddy fires Andy to make his daughter happy. Later Andy follows Paula and makes her an offer that she can't refuse. Andy shows Paula the necklace and Paula tells daddy and her associate about the necklace. Therefore, Paula and her associate come up with a swindle to take the necklace.QUESTIONS: Where did the necklace come from in the first place? What Happen to the man in the hotel? Did Paula and her associate ever get the necklace? MY THOUGHTS: Again, this was one of those movies that was hard to stay interested in. You rather know what's going happen before it really happens. I thought Don Sutherland was good in his role as Andy Hammon. I as thought that Robert Duvall was good in his role as Ford Pierce. However the reason I bought this movie because of Jennifer O'Neil and I wasn't disappointed it. She was young in this movie but she played her role very well as Paula Booth. Her talent and beauty was displayed very well. Despite the lack of action, because off Jennifer O'Neill I give this movie 8 weasel stars.

junk-monkey This movie was indeed made for a cinematic release. The version being shown on British TV at the moment has some awful truly awful pan and scan moments where nothing is actually on screen, the action (such as it is) happily continuing on the cropped off portions of the original footage. The end titles are shown in full wide-screen.It's a slight, little movie. A thin plot and not many twists or action but it did have one redeeming moment for me. Pretty early on in the movie, there is a low key car chase where one of the cars runs into a barrier. The set up is pretty run of the mill. Car one drives across a bascule bridge (one of those that opens upwards in the middle), car two follows just as the bridge is starting to open and the barriers come down across the road. So far so ho-hum routine car chase. What happens next is that the barrier smacks into car 2's windscreen and nothing explodes. Nothing flies off dramatically into the air. There's nothing faked, rigged, or breakaway about any of it. It looks like a real car crashing into a real barrier. I found it strangely refreshing.The big trouble with this movie is, well, it's just dull. It felt a lot longer than its 93 minutes.

Peter A. Lake Dr. Bombay is wrong about this film being made for TV.It was always intended to be a feature, produced by the General Electric subsidiary, Tomorrow Entertainment. It suffered along the way from problems with the script and was delayed several times.Alan Trustman, a lawyer and the author of the film, remained mostly in Boston during development, which hindered the process of fixing the script. While Tomorrow Entertainment did indeed produce many fine TV movies, Lady Ice was one of two features developed by the company. The other was Gravy Train, a bit of cult classic. After the limited success of these films the company concentrated on TV movies.

Doctor_Bombay A made-for-TV `Thomas Crown Affair (1968)' tries hard to duplicate the Steve McQueen-Faye Dunaway chemistry, using Donald Sutherland and Jennifer O'Neill in this watery version.Role reversal sets O'Neill as the wealthy jewel thief, hunted seductively by insurance investigator Sutherland..who works most of the film in shirts open to the navel…Ahh, the 70's!!!O'Neill is beautiful and stylish, drives fast cars, swims unclothed and stays away from complex sentences, while Sutherland smokes those little thin cigars and from time to time falls back on his ‘Hawkeye' grin. There is a nice turn by Jon Cypher as the heavy. Soap opera vet Eric Braeden gets some on-screen time as does, of all people Robert Duvall as the straight-arrow cop.Fun for a lark. Connoisseurs of the genre only please .
