The Gravy Train

(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.
