Viewing Notes
So great to see this on the big screen. Has a helluva cast with just the 3 bandits alone: Elam, Brand & Van Cleef.
Great intro by Eddie Muller too. I’m glad this was scheduled since it’s been a few years since I viewed for my LVC project and recalled it being very good. I love the set up with each of the crooks not knowing each other during the heist. How many times has that been used? Neat that Nolan used that same premise to open The Dark Knight.
