Mikey & NIcky (1976)

.

What Price Friendship?

Mikey (Peter Falk) and Nicky (John Cassavetes) have been friends from childhood. It's clear that Mikey has been there for Nicky through thick and thin, and Nicky's had a lot of both.

Loud-mouthed and obnoxious Nicky has now called Mikey to rescue him because Nicky is scared, terrified. There's a mob contract out on his life and he has nowhere to turn, nowhere to run.

Can Mikey help Nicky? Or not?

Also appearing are Ned Beatty as the hitman, Carol Grace as Nicky's girlfriend, Joyce Van Patten as Nicky's ex-wife, and M. Emmet Walsh as the bus driver.
