SCARECROW (1973) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Jerry Schatzberg

 

Written by - Garry Michael White

Starring - Gene Hackman, Al Pacino

 

 

"An ex-con and an ex-sailor meet and travel together eastwards, as they entertain the idea of starting a car wash business. Schatzberg's film is a great re-visitation of the buddy concept of the early slapstick comedies in a grittier and more dramatic light. Scarecrow is also an interesting and original tender look at the theme of masculinity, aided by two great lead performances by Hackman and Pacino."
