It's an oldie (1949) famous for a "long take" (nearly four minutes) with the camera planted in the back seat of the two robbers' car. We go along for the ride and endure the suspense when the dude goes in to rob the bank and a foot cop comes along and the driver (a woman) gets out of the car to deal with him. We're still there when the bank alarm goes off and the dude runs out with the $$$ and we tear off on the getaway and the couple are frantic.... Whew! All of this caps a string of boom-boom-boom stickups that's got the adrenaline already high. (There's another rush-from-robbery later on.)
Don't confuse this GUN CRAZY with a Drew Barrymore movie from 1992.
And if u love movies ... THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY was a landmark in 1903, for its narrative structure (cross-cutting between locations).
Have any thoughts about these? Stick 'em up!
