Thieves Like Us (Limited Edition, Region B)
Ā
Thieves Like Us
A group of criminals daringly escape from prison in depression-era Mississippi. They survive by robbing banks and hole up with a gas station attendant where injured Bowie (Keith Carradine,Ā Nashville) falls in love with the attendantās daughter Keechie (Shelley Duvall,Ā 3 Women). Made within one of the great runs of back-to-back classics by any filmmaker, Robert Altman followed multi-award-winning classics likeĀ M*A*S*HĀ andĀ The Long GoodbyeĀ withĀ Thieves Like Us, an adaptation of Edward Andersonās pulp novel. Previously adapted by Nicholas Ray asĀ They Live by Night, Altman's film takes a more faithful approach to the source material, preserving the original tone and period of the novel, going back to historical and American myth themes that Altman mined so brilliantly in his earlierĀ McCabe & Mrs. Miller. Critically praised, noted critic Pauline Kael described it as āthe closest to flawless of Altman's films ā a masterpiece.ā
