This is a criminous tale of the heist of a big soccer game’s receipts and the ultimate destruction of the four thieves that pull it off. Amarcord was still 20+ years in the future. The man is a god to me, but remember this is 1951. That was a jolt to the senses but this exceeds that experience.įour Ways Out features a script co-written by Federico Fellini. I believe Charles Edward Pogue was with me one afternoon at the Opera House (back when it was a dollar-matinee second-run movie house) for a double-feature of the Barbra Streisand musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever with the historical battle-flick Waterloo.
