Thomasine and Bushrod (1974 Gordon Parks Jr.)

Badly written by its star max Julien - "Is that a car?" "Yeah." "Let's go take a look at it." - and badly acted, this black Bonne and Clyde is too tame to be a blaxploitation film and could usefully be remade (which it kind of has been in Queen and Slim).

Parks lets some of the scenes just play out, which is fine, though he equally fluffs badly chase sequences and the ending.

With Vonetta McGee, George Murdock, Glynn Turman, Juanita Moore (briefly).

Say what now?
