Title: STEVE McQUEEN ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!
Product review: This would be a 5 star movie, but Ali MacGraw, despite being gorgeous, CANNOT ACT! I liked her in LOVE STORY, where her acting was almost decent, but she sucked in THE GETAWAY. After watching this movie several dozen times, her performance always sours it for me. The rest of the movie is great though. MacGraw just looks lost, even intimidated by McQueen. He carries this movie, helped by great performances by Al Lettieri, Sally Struthers (she was thin once!!!), and the one of kind Slim Pickens. This isn't a masterpiece, but it's heavy on vibe and the screen presence of McQueen. He really was a better actor than Eastwood and Bronson. I recently saw PAPILLON, and was blown away by McQueen's performance. Dam, he was even better than I thought, not to mention underrated. The movie was so-so, but his, along with Dustin Hoffman's, performance was Oscar-worthy. Anyway, THE GETAWAY is worth owning, even if you only watch once a year.
