Matt Roush says...
Director Michael Mann’s stylish 1981 feature-film debut is the highlight of a night dedicated to the late James Caan, who passed away in July at 82. Caan earned some of his best reviews as Frank, an ex-con and expert safecracker who’s trying to shake off his mob colleagues and go straight. Other highlights of the Caan tribute include Francis Ford Coppola’s 1969 The Rain People (8/7c), co-starring with Shirley Knight on a melancholy road trip, and 1973’s unconventional love story Cinderella Liberty (12:15 am/11:15c), co-starring Marsha Mason.
