Sam's Song is a 1969 drama film directed by Jordan Leondopoulos and starring Robert De Niro. [1]

Contents

Footage from Sam's Song was edited in 1979 into a completely different film, [2] [3] known as both The Swap and Line of Fire, in which a man investigates the death of his brother. [4]

Plot

A political filmmaker is on Long Island for a weekend during which he becomes entangled with a high-living, jet set crowd. At first, it is exciting, but he soon becomes disillusioned by their shallowness.

Reception

The film was described as "a European-influenced movie". [5] New York Magazine commented: "Dull, dull movie about a film editor is salvaged somewhat by early De Niro performance". [6]
