THE NIGHT THEY ROBBED BIG BERTHA'S
JANUARY 31 MIDNIGHT, FREE, DIR. PETER KARES, 1975, 35MM, 87 MIN, R

Surprisingly funny and well-made heist comedy from the deep south. A master criminal puts together a ragtag crew to perpetrate the burglary of a whorehouse safe. Not surprisingly, everything goes wrong. The whole thing is done in an overblown manner that recalls "Dragnet" or Kubrick's THE KILLING, only with culturally insensitive humor and naked hookers. It oscillates wildly between offensive, sexy and funny. Written by Albert T. Viola, whose PREACHERMAN movies are landmarks in the hicksploitation canon.(Lars)
