And when Joe Don Baker eliminates himself near the end!
Do you remember 'The Flim Flam Man' with George C Scott from about the same time? I've been dying to see that again. Not seen it for probably forty years (I was three at the time).

Nobody mentions 'Two Lane Blacktop' these days or 'Fireball 500'. I loved both when they came out (even though Fireball 500 was a bit naff). Not exactly chase movies but they've got fast cars in.

Don't think I've ever seen that one, IMDB's summary sounds interesting, I'll have to look it out. Another of my favourties is Two lane blacktop (although there's not much of a plot)

James Taylor's very sorted '55 Chevy BelAir made the film for me. A beast!
Another film nobody talks about: 'Electraglide in Blue' I've got that one too!

Yup. 454 'Vette lump with trick bits!
That was Robert Blake playing 'officer Wintergreen'. I loved that movie.
Blake was a very strange character in 'Lost Highway'.
'In Cold Blood' was excellent with his performance powering the film along (wish I had a copy).
Actually, that one reminds me of another film (I do have). 'Badlands' with Cissy Spacek and Martin Sheen, another great movie.

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Tonight I am watching The Lavender Hill Mob(1951) Starring Alec Guinness, Stanley Holloway, Sidney James and Alfie Bass. Directed by Charles Crichton who also did The Titfield Thunderbolt and A Fish Called Wanda.
T.E.B. Clarke wrote the screenplay for this but a major credit has to go to a the special committee of the Bank of England who came up with the plan after Ealing Studios asked them how it could be done. The crooks had to be caught to allow the film to be shown in the US, as their censorship laws at the time demanded that crooks always got caught, unlike Britain where it would have been allowable.
Delightful performances from Stanley and Alec make this lark into a minor classic.
Regards,
Grant
