Review of Boxcar Bertha (1972) by Cale W — 20 Jul 2011
Excellent second film from Scorsese and his first for a studio (AIP) produced by Roger Corman. Easily the best of the Corman depression era-gangster-exploitation films made to cash in on the success of "Bonnie and Clyde".
Scorsese quickly transcends the exploitation premise and makes a stirring and action-packed drama. He has so many artistic ideas the film feels as if it is going to burst at the seems. Great performances from everyone, especially the gorgeous Barbara Hershey and the always awesome David Carradine.
