I just have to say, I watched this movie for the first time since I was a kid yesterday, and I was suprised at just how well directed this movie was. It's almost perfect. As a kid I remember the fast cars, women, and sunglasses. I completely missed how great a movie this was. Whoever directed it was pretty good. It's a very easy movie to watch over and over again. Anyway, I was impressed.
After I saw that movie, I was convinced I wanted to someday have sex in the subway. And then I visited New York and actually rode the subway. What was Tom thinking?
Written and Directed by Paul Brickman. He only ever directed one other film, the odd melodrama "Men Don't Leave." He is somewhat more successful as a screenwriter, recently penning the excellent Holocaust mini-series "Uprising," and perhaps more memorably the 1977 "The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training" (aka: "Let Them Play," aka: "The Bad News Bears in the Astrodome," aka: "Check out Cesar Cedeno's 'Fro!")
