INFLUENTIAL EURO-CRIME THRILLER...FAST-FLASHY-CHAOTIC...SPARKLING NEO-REALISM
Before "Bonnie and Clyde" (1968) and the American Ultra-Stylized Revolution.
Italian Cinema was Trending Toward Realistic, although Heightened Imagery.
Influenced itself by the French "New Wave" and the Public's Maturing Taste for Evolutionary Input with Their Entertainment.
More Violence, More Sex, More Action, More Movement, More-More-More.
In this Mid-Sixties Thriller, based on a True Story, the Action Only Let's Up for the Love and Bickering of the "Crash and Grab" Jewelry Thief and His Wife.
Taking Place in Italy and France Mostly.
The Film is Highlighted by Remarkable On-Location, Cinema Verite Style Street Stuff. Glittering, Glossy, and Gritty Scenes and a Prescient Score by Moriconni.
The Police and Press Become Involved and What Happens Surrounding these "Lovers on the Run" is a Sight to Behold.
The Film Feels Disjointed and Jarringly Incomprehensible at Times,
but there is No Time to Dwell, because Things Pick Up and Power On Relentlessly.
For About 2 Hours the Movie Hardly Gives You Time to Breath and the Experience of Watching this Beautiful Mayhem may leave some "Breathless".
A Frenetic, Frenzy of a Film that Paved the Way for American and European Cinema Styles for Decades.
The Influence can Still be Felt Today.
A Must-See for Film Historians,
or Anyone Wanting an Overdose of Movie-Madness at its Most Colorful, Chaotic and Playful.
