Bone

The provocative opening of provocative writer-director Larry Cohen’s first feature, Andrew Duggan selling cars on TV against an unorthodox background, then finding a rat in the pool, with his wife (Joyce Van Patten) at their Beverly Hills mansion, in Bone, 1972, also starring Yaphet Kotto.

Presumably affluent Beverly Hills couple Bill and Bernadette (Andrew Duggan, Joyce Van Patten) are calling the pool service about a rat when Yaphet Kotto (title character) appears, and they assume he’s an exterminator, and things get tense, in writer-director Larry Cohen’s Bone, 1972.

Gonzo Beverly Hills car salesman Bill (Andrew Duggan) and wife Bernadette (Joyce Van Patten) are being abused by sort-of home-invader Yaphet Kotto (title character), who’s discovered they’re broke, except for an account he’s been hiding, in Larry Cohen’s suspense comedy Bone, 1972.
