Rent Boxcar Bertha (1972)
3.0 of 5 from 85 ratings
1h 25min
I first saw Boxcar Bertha in the Cinema in 1972/73
Rewatching some 50 years later the Film struggled to hold my attention
The central performance by Barbara Hershey is good and she is believable in the role but overall a Film such as this ( Depression era,bank robbing ) was far better done in the seminal Bonnie and Clyde.
This has a mixed reputation but it is actually very high quality. Scorsese's trademark direction is present throughout and he's at his best in certain sequences, including the horrific last scene. This is definitely worth your time if you're a Scorsese fan. There are themes and even individual shots that he would go on to develop in his later films. Barbara Hershey is terrific too.
