(THE DION BROTHERS, Jack Starrett, US 1974, 96 min., 35mm)
The Dion brothers, Calvin (Stacy Keach) and Rut (Frederic Forrest), descend upon society from Appalachia, determined to start a crime wave that will support their dream of opening a seafood restaurant. Quirky to say the least, this immensely likable (and unjustly forgotten) ’70s action comedy was recently re-discovered and championed by Quentin Tarantino. The screenplay was co-written by Terrence Malick, who took his name off the film after being replaced as director by Starrett.
