Cisco Pike used to be somebody. Kris Kristofferson plays a washed-up rock musician in early 1970s Los Angeles who gets squeezed by a corrupt cop — Gene Hackman, already menacing before The French Connection came out — into selling 100 kilos of confiscated marijuana in a single weekend. Bill L. Norton directed this 1972 film as a portrait of the hangover after the sixties ended, with Harry Dean Stanton and Karen Black filling out a cast that feels like a who's who of seventies character acting.
The available image is a backdrop, so the watch is not visible. It has been described as a steel piece, which fits a man who is not broke enough to sell his watch but not flush enough to upgrade it. Pike is stuck in that specific kind of Los Angeles limbo where yesterday's cool buys you nothing today.
