Viewing Notes

Noah tweeting about watching this on the 4th of July inspired me to once again rewatch one of my favorite movies. Every time I watch this, I’m amazed by the cast, many of whom were unknowns at the time but are now A-list actors.

For the first time (after dozens of viewings of this movie) I noticed that the cabbie/informer shows up later in the film as one of the “skinnies” firing from the rooftops during the night time fire fight scene. I can’t believe I never caught that before, but there it is.
