The Sugarland Express (1974 Steven Spielberg)

I don't know why they had to kill him - they could easily have arrested him at the end - that's the USA for you, even then (it's a true story). This was murder.

Verna is absolutely fab at cutting those crowd and chase scenes. Vilmos's cinematography is great.

'Ace in the Hole', Q said to me in one of the crowd scenes, at the exact moment I was thinking it.

Good to see Slaughterhouse Five's Michael Sacks again, alongside Goldie Hawn, William Atherton and Ben Johnson.
