KAREN BLACK/THE OUTFIT

KAREN BLACK in an obscure seventies gangster film THE OUTFIT isn't quite a gangster film but involves bank robbers Robert Duvall who's just outta prison and partner Joe Don Baker and Karen Black, the dizzy gal from FIVE EASY PIECES and star of so many other great films, some bad, is the MOLL and not so tough as she is determined, and won't let her man get the best of her - sure he loves her but wants to stuff her in the backseat (as he does) and all three go from thug to thug stealing money as revenge for being ripped off and anyhow she's a good moll in it - nice to see her with a gun and sexy and tough and gritty and sensitive too but mostly makes her dude feel guilty that he's pleased with stealin' so as much as I love Black she kinda gits inna way here but it's Karen Black so who'm I to complain?
