Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)

Second viewing; previously viewed on September 8, 2008.

Two men meet, the older one a former bank robber. They meet with the latter's former partners in crime and fail in retrieving the loot from their former robbery, so they decide to do it again.

This is the typical product of a young mind. The script is sentimental in a masculine way and not devoid of inventiveness. I was particularly impressed, when first viewing it, with a sequence involving a car trunk. I couldn't remember the details except that it was one of the weirdest I had ever seen. That assessment still seemed correct upon this second viewing.

Rating: 58 (unchanged)
