The Reivers (1969) starring Steve McQueen, Sharon Farrell, Mitch Vogel, Rupert Crosse, Will Geer. After stealing er, borrowing a car from young Lucius' (Vogel) grandfather (Geer), Boon (McQueen), Lucius and Ned (Crosse) set off cross-country from Mississippi for the big city of Memphis. The year is 1905, and the story is told as a flashback, narrated by Burgess Meredith. Their picaresque adventures prove a sobering experience for 11-year-old Lucius, who learns more than he'd like about lying, women and racism. The script is based on a novel by William Faulkner. The movie finishes strong, which makes up for some slow spots in the middle. Good subtitles. Grade: B+
