reviewed for week ending 10/28/78 Donna Summer's co-producer (along with Peter Bellotte) also handled the music on this soundtrack to the drama starring Brad Davis and Randy Quaid. Given the strong production, this should earn dance floor acceptance. Best cuts: "Chase," "The Wheel." Summary: Billy Hayes is caught attempting to smuggle drugs out of Turkey. The Turkish courts decide to make an example of him, sentencing him to more than 20 years in prison. Hayes has two opportunities for release: the appeals made by his lawyer, his family, and the American government, or the "Midnight Express". Summary written by Murray Chapman Tagline: Walk into the incredible true experience of Billy Hayes, and bring all the courage you can! |
