    Fonda Keeps on a truckin'

    According to the Films of Henry Fonda from the Citadel Film Series, The Great Smokey Roadblock was on the shelf for two years before being released. After that I suppose the producers decided this one was strictly for the red state drive in trade. I certainly don't remember it being exhibited in Brooklyn at the time.

    It's not a bad film, it was the kind of thing that Fonda did during that last decade, mostly films strictly for the paycheck and no strain on any ability. He's a typical red state hero, a hard working truck driver who because of a prolonged hospital stay was unable to keep up payments on his big rig and the bank repossessed it. Not something you do to Fonda who steals the truck back and goes looking for a last big load.

    And what a load it is. A favorite place of Fonda's a cat house that caters to men of the road has been shut down and Eileen Brennan and her girls have been told to cease and desist. But she's got a new location in South Carolina so she moves bag and all the baggage with Fonda from Wyoming.

    The film has a few laughs but some serious flaws as well. Try as I might I could not understand why the eyes of a nation should be focused on Fonda and his plight. Nor could I understand why he could not get a legitimate load for his vehicle even if it was stolen in the eyes of the law. Why should those shipping if he's got a good reputation care? And the villain of the piece drugstore cowboy truck driver Gary Sandy was hostile to Fonda for reasons that were never made clear. And Robert England's character of a hitchhiker Fonda picks up along the way is never really any kind of coherent.

    I did enjoy sheriff Dub Taylor and how the women got around him after he jails Fonda and them. And the women do have a good way for paying for gas, food and lodging.

    Young Susan Sarandon had a bit role as one of Eileen Brennan's girls. The Great Smokey Roadblock while not great was better than a lot of what Fonda was in during his last decade.

    A bit of a disappointment for Fonda.

    "The Last of the Cowboys" (also known as "The Great Smokey Roadblock") is a film made in the final years of a great actor, Henry Fonda. While Fonda made some terrific movies during this time, the quality of the productions varied widely...from "On Golden Pond" and "Gideon's Trumpet" to crap like "Meteor" and "The Swarm". Sadly, "The Last of the Cowboys" is closer in quality to the latter two films.

    John Howard (Fonda) is a sick man, as he's been diagnosed with cancer. However, instead of getting treatment, he leaves the hospital in order to 'steal' his 18 wheeler, as when he got sick the bank repossessed it. Now with his truck, he's out to make one final run. Along the way, he picks up a religious drifter (Robert Englund...definitely playing against type) and a group of prostitutes...and he's out to get them to Kansas City or get caught by the police trying.

    This is a VERY meandering film and the plot is strange, as it's hard to tell whether they wanted it to be a lighter story or a compelling one about death. According to IMDB, some post-production tinkering de-emphasized the death and dying aspect of the tale to try to improve the marketability of the movie...and to capitalize on the success of films like "Smokey and the Bandit" (hence the name change for this film).

    So is it any good? Well, it has a strike against it because it promotes the 'hooker with a heart of gold' cliche. The realities for such women sure are different than in this movie! And as for the story, it's sad to see Fonda in it as he's fine playing the old, dying man but the goofy avoiding the police aspect of the story didn't work so well with him in the lead.

    Love it!

    The story line is dull at the beginning. Yet it evolves wonderfully. The characters are wonderful. Robert Englund, Susan Sarandon and Henry Fonda are great together. The story takes place in a simpler time with simpler people. The scenery in the movie is gorgeous. Takes place over the road. You get to see many different places. There's funny parts that will make you laugh out loud and sad parts that may make you cry. It's a really peaceful movie. Although the ending is terrible as it leaves the story open and ends the story swiftly and tragically. The watcher is left to wonder what exactly happened to the characters.

    Comedic road flick about a Trucker's final run with Henry Fonda

    A dying trucker (Henry Fonda) throws caution to the wind by stealing back his repossessed semi and venturing his last haul across the country with a Bible-spouting sidekick (Robert Englund), a madam (Eileen Brennan) and her six girls.

    "The Great Smokey Roadblock" (1977) was originally titled "The Last of the Cowboys" and was presumably changed to take advantage of the success of "Smokey and the Bandit." While this one focuses on a trucker and a band of prostitutes, it's just as entertaining as that more popular road farce and maybe a smidgen more.

    The movie repeatedly points out that Fonda's character is 60 years old, but he was actually 71 during filming and looked it. Don't get me wrong, he looked good for his age and had his usual charisma, but he didn't look 60, unless he had lived a very hard life.

    Curvy Daina House is the highlight on the feminine front, but I strangely found grumpy Alice (Mews Small) notable too. Susan Sarandon is also on hand before she made it big. Actually the entire female cast is entertaining because they're fleshed out as individuals.

    The geography is disingenuous as Northern California is passed off for places like Missouri, the Smokey Mountains and the Carolina coast. Yet even big budget movies back then did this, let alone small flicks like this one.

    The film runs 1 hour, 44 minutes, and was shot in Oroville, California.

    Strictly drive-in fare

    Henry Fonda plays Elegant John, an old trucker who steals back his prized rig in California and takes off with almost no money. His Kenworth tractor has the name Eleanor on it. Elegant John once met Eleanor Roosevelt. He pulls a Fruehauf van with a "sunroof". Why is he called Elegant John? Well, sonny, if you drive five million miles without being late or having a wreck, you deserve to be called Elegant. Elegant John picks up Bible-thumping hitchhiker Beebo Crozier, who is going to Florida to learn motel management. Elegant John stops and gets fuel. Beebo reluctantly pays for fuel. The two stop at a whorehouse for truckers at Cheyenne, Wyoming, a possible homage to Fonda's movie The Cheyenne Social Club. The prostitutes are about to be raided, and the madam hires Elegant John to take them to the coast of South Carolina to start another prostitution business. Thus Elegant John's trip will be coast to coast. They go through Kansas and have a commotion near Springfield, Missouri, with Dub Taylor's character Harley Davidson. After that, there's a truck stop dancing scene to the music of Orleans' "Still the One", which is pop rock in a country sort of way. The movie claims that it's a compliment for a truck driver to be called a cowboy, but I've seen where an out-of-place, amateur, careless truck driver is called a cowboy or a cotton picker. There's a great Smokey roadblock in Georgia to stop them. Will Elegant John's Kenworth plow through a bunch of old Mopars? Will Elegant John live to see the Atlantic Ocean? And what is Beebo going to do with his life, now that it has taken an unexpected turn? This movie is just a hodgepodge of elements thrown together for drive-in fare.

    • Curiosidades
      Following a screening of The Last of the Cowboys at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1977, none of the major studios made an offer to acquire the film from production company Mar Vista Productions; they considered its storyline of a truck driver dying of cancer so depressing that it would be difficult to market. Independent production and distribution company Dimension Pictures agreed to distribute the film after Mar Vista ceded its creative rights. Against star Henry Fonda's wishes, Dimension re-edited the picture to tell a lighthearted story of a sick truck driver who makes a cross-country trip with prostitutes and then retitled it The Great Smokey Roadblock to capitalize on the popularity of Smokey and the Bandit.

      There are no visible mountains from the beaches of South Carolina. The beach scene was obviously filmed on the West Coast.

      Harley Davidson: I've heard of a temple on wheels. I've seen a swimming pool in the back of a end of a truck. I've seen trucks with jock straps made o' red silk. But I ain't never seen a mobile cathouse!
