Mikey and Nicky (1976) is a drama directed by Elaine May, starring Peter Falk and John Cassavetes.Small-time hood Nicky (Cassavetes) gets in trouble for stealing from his mob bosses. He calls Mikey (Falk), his lifelong friend. Throughout the cold Philadelphia night, Nicky tries to lay low, thinking he’ll get bumped off by the mob. Mikey reassures him all the while that he’ll be fine, not telling Nicky that he knows all about the hit set out on Nicky.It was filmed in 1973, but the usual battles between May and the studio brass over Executive Meddling (see also A New Leaf and Ishtar) happened, and it ended up only getting a very short 1976 release to satisfy contractual obligations. It got rediscovered during the later re-evaluation of May's directorial work. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Mikey and Nicky / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Nicky’s wife (who he’s separated from) refuses him entrance to her apartment, telling him to go away. Eventually, through his usual charm (and that fact that she's still in love with him), she falls for his line of still loving her and being true to her. Mind, he just came from banging his mistress. | |

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!: It has its moments for both Nicky and Mikey, but as we see the mob bureaucracy play out, Mikey’s not happy when he has to be killed. | |

Pet the Dog: The only positive light (and it’s only a chink) we see Nicky in is when he visits his five-month old daughter. But on that night, he’s annoyed that she won’t hold his finger. | |
