- A tribute to actor Dennis Patrick's performance in the 1970 movie "Joe". I couldn't resist marrying it with another great love of mine: the music of Morrissey. I took a few "liberties" with the plot to make it fit the song better, but I think the two are a pretty good match! (Obviously not exact, but I think the point comes across!)
The character of Compton is a little hard to pin down, but I see him as kind of a sad, mostly sympathetic figure with a lot of bottled up repression who makes a lot of bad choices; I hope that comes across here. I've read that Mr. Patrick wasn't happy with the movie, and felt like it glorified violence, which it sort of does -- I've tried to tone it down a bit here. Hopefully this is a respectful tribute. Please feel free to comment.
The purpose in posting is to review Dennis Patrick's performance in the film and for fan appreciation. Please go buy both the DVD and the Morrissey song.
