A THRILLING GANGSTER FILM IN THE VEIN OF BONNIE & CLYDE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF CUJO AND THE INCREDIBLE ALLIGATOR
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
"THE BEST SCREENPLAY EVER WRITTEN FOR AN EXPLOITATION FILM. […] A MIRACLE." QUENTIN TARANTINO
Abused by an abusive father, Polly Franklin decides to leave the family farm for Chicago. She will be a seamstress, dancer, prostitute and waitress, and will even spend a stint in prison. Her journey brings her closer to the underworld of the 1930s, until the fateful day when Polly meets a certain John Dillinger...
A year before their collaboration on The Incredible Alligator , director Lewis Teague and screenwriter John Sayles tackle the gangster film. Despite a modest budget, their reconstruction of 1930s America commands respect. Red for a Mobster also stands out for its exclusively female point of view: the world of crime and the Great Depression is seen here through the eyes of Polly Franklin, the incredible Pamela Sue Martin ( Dynasty ). In a single role, she embodies all those who have been broken by the American dream. Somewhere between Bonnie & Clyde and Once Upon a Time in America , Red for a Mobster is available for the first time on Blu-ray™!
