Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This exhilarating kaleidoscope of a movie, from a surreally layered novel by Richard Condon (The Manchurian Candidate), combines post-Watergate paranoia, gallows humor, political sci-fi, dazzling suspense set pieces, something we might call postmodern historical burlesque, and gonzo performances by a truly all-star cast. It's held together by Jeff Bridges as the surviving scion of a Kennedy-like dynasty who reluctantly sets out to solve his brother's assassination. John Huston's own dynastic credentials and rough-hewn aristocracy make him perfect casting as the family patriarch, a simultaneously genial and appalling American monster. Writer-director William Richert, a virtual unknown, somehow corraled an amazing ensemble, including an unbilled Liz Taylor, North by Northwest production designer Robert Boyle (who also contributes a delicious cameo), composer Maurice Jarre, and the great cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond. The widescreen camerawork and zesty primary-color palette demand DVD, which may finally do right by this quintessential '70s film that the '70s just weren't ready for. --Richard T. Jameson

Winter Kills, with the added explanatory disk by the director, William Richert, is a film to end all films involving conspiracy theories of the shooting of President Kennedy. This film was shut down many times and pulled prematurely from theaters when released. Memorable performances by all who made this their special project: Jeff Bridges, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, Eli Wallach, Anthony Perkins, and many others.
The shooting death of one of the co-producers was said to be unrelated.

The movie is described as being a "black comedy." Well --- I suppose so. At times the plot developments, such as they were, seemed so paranoid that the intended satirical effect gets buried. It also doesn't help that practically every conspiracy theory known to man gets vacuumed-packed into a film barely an hour and a half long, because the result is an unfocused film that is all over the place.
It shouldn't be taken as a comment on the Kennedy assassination & its aftermath...President ... Read More

Great job again Anchor Bay!!! This rare classic gets the deluxe treatment it deserves with this 2-DVD set!!! Disc 1 has a great anamorphic widescreen tranfser of the film as well as a Audio Commentary from the director!!! Disc 2 has the extra goodies!!! A seventies cult classic with an all star cast!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

"Winter Kills" is far less interesting than the story behind its production (which makes the bonus features on this 2 disc set very worthwhile), but William Richert's adaptation of Richard Condon's novel is worthy of the cult status it has enjoyed since its brief release more than two decades ago.
In retrospect, "Winter Kills" almost looks like something of a warm-up for Oliver Stones' "JFK," a more ambitious conspiracy thriller made 12 years later. Some of the dialogue in "Winter Kills" seems to have ... Read More

This was a really good movie. It was just loaded with old screen legends from the past in classic roles. Jeff Bridges is perfect as the role of the brother of the slain president of the United States. John Huston is excellent as Pa, his rich and powerful father. Sterling Hayden is also excellent. This movie is full of wild speculation and crazy, paranoid and zany characters.
The documentary about the making of the movie was just as compelling as the origional film. The things that they went thru to make ... Read More
