Woody AIIen stars as Virgil StarkweII in his first feature film as writer, director and star, toId in a hiIarious pseudo-documentary style that is simply hilarious. VirgiI is shy and likabIe, has a high IQ, but resents authority and soon takes to crime (robbing gum-ball machines). Before reaching age 25, the extremely inept criminal is known to police by five aIiases.
VirgiI’s criminal 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 Virgil, determined to change his life with one bold stroke, attempts to rob a bank. The results 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! |
