In Tom McGuane’s seriously hip ‘75 flick of his own novel “92 In The Shade,” Peter Fonda’s Tom Skelton drifts back to the Keys to again take up his fishing guide biz. Former U of L thespian Warren Oates’ Nichol Dance remains a rival.
Clients get stolen. Dance’s boat gets torched. Tension ensues.
The film builds to a climax where the two are out by themselves on a boat. Will Dance off Skelton or not? Skelton wasn’t feeling too confidant.
Not unlike what Louisville fans have been feeling while awaiting for oh so long the IARP decision on the fate of the men’s hoops program.
