Limelight Highlight
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
directed by John Hough
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
Ribbons of highway across open western landscapes remind me of the last scene in My Darling Clementine, when Wyatt Earp says goodbye and starts off on that thin civilizing road through Monument Valley, hat and bridle aimed squarely at the future. Seems like just a short jump from Henry Fonda's boot on the railings to an early-seventies hodge-podge of racing stripes, helicopters, trains, and speed.
Maybe it's not great, but reading something like this makes "Dirty Mary" seem like everything worth loving about movies.
