...screen chase scene that puts The Thomas Crown Affair to shame. As Angel and Laurie, William Smith and Valerie Starrett (the director's wife) make up in enthusiasm what they lack in finesse. Angel is obviously and deeply indebted to Bonnie and Clyde, and even more to Nicholas Ray's 1949 They Live by Night, but anyone who expects a work as accomplished as those will be bitterly disappointed.

The still more powerful "Boss 429" has a 375-h.p. engine that will whip...
