series Edgar Wright Presents Heist Society
Directed by Don Siegel | 1973
With Walter Matthau, Joe Don Baker, Felicia Farr
“Violence, mayhem and masterful suspense play out in this excellent Don Siegel heist flick starring Walter Matthau.”
—EDGAR WRIGHT
Walter Matthau is the titular crop-duster and erstwhile bank robber who, after he accidentally absconds with a wad of money belonging to the Mafia, must think quick to outwit a sadistic hitman (Baker). Director Don Siegel delivers a nonstop series of brilliantly executed action set pieces—including a climactic showdown between a car and a biplane—in one of the finest, most overlooked thrillers of the 1970s.
