It’s an impressive debut and proof that some people are natural with camera - also that even if you’re one of the bests behind a camera and perfectly block a scene you could still be a boring director.

Finally got to see this one. Spielberg's first feature film. Excellent crime drama and one of Goldie Hawn's best performances.

Em honra de Louise Latham actor (1922 - 2018). Ano do Centenário de Ben Johnson filme #1. Único filme clássico do Spielberg que ainda não tinha visto, simplesmente por se situar nos anos 70 já o faz um grande filme, tem alguma coisa com aquela década que nenhuma outra atingiu, um teor de cool inigualável para o cinema. Surpresa com um papel simpático do Atherton, já que nos anos 80 ele se caracterizaria como um tipo dos mais insuportáveis nos filmes que participava. BlurayRip Yify.

Its plot may ape the countercultural road movies of its era, but Steven Spielberg's feature debut displays many of the crowd-pleasing elements he'd refine in subsequent films.

The tale may be familiar, but the execution is far from it. An audacious debut from Spielberg that hits hard from a technical aspect. Impressive.

Stevie shoots the hell of this story of two bad parents that choose to just get their child no matter what is costs -- hundreds of policemen after them in a patient, long car chase through Texas and a public status that go from complete anonymity to roadside attraction to folks that believe they must go forward to get their baby Langston. Not a Spielberg first tier, but still a hell of well-shot and entertaining ride -- it drags curiously when the couple befriends the patrol driver.

For his first foray onto the silver screen, Spielberg tells a somewhat familiar tale of two lovers on the run against the law, but the relationship between the two leads and the cop they drag along on their misadventure is genuinely touching.

It feels weird to see the guy who embodies the best of the Hollywood mainstream still learning his craft. But Goldie Hawn delivers an absolutely inimitable performance and Spielberg cannily relies on the landscapes to tell the rest of the story. Although Spielberg would achieve astronomically greater heights in his career, this film still has enough heart to stand side-by-side with some of his later work.

Spielberg takes the vacant desert of his tense, spare debut film Duel and fills it with a Looney Tunes parade of used-car lots, drive-ins, diners and a detained, eccentric force. Like so many things in Texas, it doesn't seem that believable. It happened in '69, and the young couple garnered a lot of support from the people. More like Natural Born Killers than Bonnie & Clyde, the lovers on the lam find brief sanctuary from their Looney Tunes world by watching Looney Tunes in a camper.

This seems more like a Coen Brothers movie than a Spielberg one. Through the manic humour permeating from the beginning, there is an uneasy dread as you just know it's impossible to end well. Some really creative and interesting shots. It's kind of surprising this isn't talked about all that much.

Interestingly enough, this early film is one of Spielberg's most flawless blending of sentiment and drama. Add some wonderful cinematography and interesting political commentary and you got a movie worthy of the masterful director that Spielberg would become; here, still young and unsure of himself yet with an undeniable talent behind a camera.
