Spread the love

Some films make you yearn for a bygone era, regardless of whether or not you were born then.The clothes, the manners, women being women, men being men. This film is perfect, sophisticated and sexy. Starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. The film is slightly dates by some of it’s camera shots, but the script, the acting, the pure class. Norman Jewison is a much under-rated film director.

This film was Steve McQueens favourite of his own films.

Steve McQueen is a multi-millionaire who robs banks just for kicks. Faye Dunaway is the women who works for the insurance company who always gets her man. If you have ever wondered why Steve McQueen is still famous, so many years after his death. Watch this film. it’s a love story, it’s a heist movie, it’s everything a film should be. It is hard to believe this film was made in 1968. 42 years old!

There is one word this film encapsulates: class. Rent it , buy it or steal it. It’s a classic.
