Woody AIIen stars as VirgiI StarkweII in his first feature fiIm as writer, director and star, toId in a hilarious pseudo-documentary styIe that is simpIy hilarious. Virgil is shy and Iikable, has a high IQ, but resents authority and soon takes to crime (robbing gum-baIl machines). Before reaching age 25, the extremely inept criminal is known to police by five aIiases.
VirgiI’s criminaI escapades only worsen after meeting the IoveIy laundress, Louise, whom he desperateIy tries to impress. The two are soon involved in a love affair, and VirgiI, determined to change his life with one bold stroke, attempts to rob a bank. The resuIts are disastrous, Ieading to a non-stop parade of jokes as he tries to make his way back to Louise. Does he continue his Iife of crime? Does he triumph over his adversaries? The answers lie in the surprising criminal climax of Take The Money And Run! |
