Robbing 36 banks was easy. Watch what happens when they hit the 37th. Fresh off a prison escape, a convicted killer hits the road, holds up banks, and takes refuge at a rural hideout, where he falls for a young woman. But romance is rough when you’re on the lam, especially when you refuse to turn your back on crime. Released between The Long Goodbye and Nashville (and the same year as California Split), director Robert Altman crafts a warm, laid-back piece of Depression-era Americana with excellent performances by Keith Carradine and Shelley Duvall. Featuring a screenplay by Calder Willingham, Joan Tewkesbury, and Altman himself, adapted from the novel by Edward Anderson.
