Movie Review - The Sugarland Express
The Sugarland Express (1974)
directed by Steven Spielbergo
rating: 4 out of 5 jalapeños
on DVD at Andy's
There's a lovely moment here when Ben Johnson falls in love with Goldie Hawn. His expression isn't fatherly, or wistful; it's young. Later, of course, Spielberg made love synonymous with obligation, and that's why I'll never buy the cynical, non-commitive moralism of movies like Munich. "Everyone has their reasons," Steve might say. But Renoir was Ben Johnson - Ben the Lion - and they were never old.
