Both central performances are amazing, but only Spacek went on to become one of the most in-demand stars of the '70s.

Poetisk rock n roll 1970er klassiker. Blæste min hjerne ud da jeg så den på tv som teen engang tilbage i de mørke 1980ere. :)

Sheens ”arga unga man” är i rakt nedstigande led James Dean. Spacek är strålande redan tidigt i karriären och det unga parets ödesmättade flykt till ingenstans lånades senare av Ridley Scott i Thelma & Louise!
