I'm looking for a couple of old films and not having any luck, so I'm open to ideas as to where to search. Two films in particular, "Skip Tracer" 1977, and "The Great Niagara" around 1974 (this one probably made for TV). Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neal.

Hope that points you in the right direction Neal :)

Their title "A Deadly Business" is not the same as "Skip Tracer". Alin Arkin in "A Deadly Business' is a different film. "Skip Tracer" was/is a made in Canada film about a repo man in Vancouver. In reviews of the day, it was rated as one of the 10 best Canadian films ever made. It's very occasionally shows up on CITY TV.
"The Great Niagara" was a made for TV film that would be best thought of as 'B' movie. I thought of it as much better offering than that.
Looks like both are going to be real hard to find. The search now becomes a Quest!

OK, now I see there is a difference between "A Deadly Business" and "Deadly Business".
"Skip Tracer" is still a better title. "Deadly Business" gives away too much but I guess it would appeal more to American audiences.
