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

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

Plot[edit]

A political filmmaker finds himself in Long Island for a weekend where he finds himself entangled with a high-living, jet set crowd. At first it is exciting, but soon he finds himself disillusioned by their shallowness.

Analysis and reception[edit]

The film was described as "a European-influenced movie".[4] New York Magazine commented: "Dull, dull movie about a film editor is salvaged somewhat by early De Niro performance".[5]
