Quiz
Robert Beatty, despite being credited as The Sheriff, is nowhere to be seen.

Blooper
At the beginning, the boys gather to bring Spikes some food under a bright blue NIGHT-time sky. But his scene was obviously filmed during the daytime, using a filter to darken the images. These scenes were only slightly darker than the preceding scenes when the posse came through looking for Spikes. This slightly darker scene, coupled with the sound of crickets, was evidently supposed to give the illusion that it was nighttime, despite the brilliant blue sky!.

Citazioni
Will Young: We sure didn't mean nothing like this to come of it. We didn't desire to commit murder. It just kinda ran away from us.
Harry Spikes: Well, we all started out as somethin' else, way back.

What a surprise!!

I happened to catch this film on a late night showing on a classic movie channel. I was REALLY surprised by this film!! I have seen other comments on it that refer to the movie as "under-rated", and I couldn't agree more!

Lee Marvin does a fantastic job portraying bank robber Harry Spikes who meets and befriends three teen aged boys who gradually come to admire Spikes and his lifestyle. After Spikes leaves the boys, circumstances lead them to run away together and begin what they thought would be the adventure of thier lives. They soon find that adventure, life, and Harry Spikes are not all they seemed to be! Ron Howard, Gary Grimes and Charlie Martin Smith play thier parts perfectly. The film also benefits from the reality lent by the dilapidated and run down buildings in the various towns shown in the movie, rather than the cheesy 'gunsmoke" type sets that are normally seen in films of this genre and time.

I can't recommend this movie highly enough!! 8/10
