probably deserves his own thread. besides b&c and little big man, i forgot that he made penn and teller get killed, which is pretty great.

Hackman is sure good in this. And, yes, the editing is the star here.

the very worst thing about the script is that Clyde regains his erectile function just before they die.
it looks great throughout, tho the oldskool DP grumbled about Penn's style. (DP then won Oscar)
Dede Allen credited her assistant with handling most of the final scene.

Reading the BFI book (just finished the one for Sweet Smell of Success). Never knew that Arthur Penn directed one-third of the Nixon-Kennedy debates. (They had four, so I'm not sure what that means--maybe he got fired partway through one of them.)
