[film guy voice] this was shot on filme

My dad used to describe this movie to me when he would catch it on TV late at night. Dad, it's exactly as bad as you said, and yet I understand why you were compelled to watch it in 30 minute stretches whenever the opportunity presented itself.

The “Robert Redford escaping from prison” montage is one of my 5 favorite scenes or sequences of the year. Sheer enjoyment, deceptively gentle and pleasurable without giving into that pandering nostalgia that ruins movies-about-movies most of the time.
