When the stars shone less brightly

"A THIN LINE BETWEEN LIFE & DEATH is a small collection of solidly 'B' grade action films that squanders the talents of such Hollywood notables as Robert Conrad, Jack Palance, José Ferrer and James Earl Jones. Up-and-comers like Robert Wagner (in 1953), Michelle Pfeiffer, Sam Elliot and Sandra Bullock survived these career missteps to go on to bigger and better things. These obscurities are nevertheless mildly entertaining, as most second-tier movies tend to be.
