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

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

[edit]

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.

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]
