Bicycle Ride to Nevada on Broadway at Cort theater
Robert Thom's Bicycle Ride to Nevada at the Cort stars Franchot Tone as a Nobel laureate novelist attempting a comeback after a decade of dissolute living. The drama, based on Barnaby Conrad's Dangerfield, delivers strong late acts with Tone and Richard Jordan, though pacing and supporting characters overwhelm the overall effect. Lois Smith handles a difficult role but the flawed writing weakens the production.
