Dirty MaryCrazy Larry
Dir: John Hough
1974
****
For a film that is essentially one long Car chase, Dirty MaryCrazy Larry starts off with a fairly well conceived idea. It is all about the Cars, the attitude, Susan George in a bikini top and not giving a damn about anything and taking what you want but there is a poignant message to learn from the film that comes in the form of a short sharp shock. It couldn't be more cult if it tried. It's no Vanishing Point but it's more credible (not as lovable) as Smokey and the Bandit. A must if you like your American muscle Cars and the fact that Quentin Tarantino says it's one of his favorites tells you all you need to know.
