Dirty Mary Crazy Larry 1974 123movies

Watch: Dirty Mary Crazy Larry 1974 123movies, Full Movie Online – Larry Rayder is an aspiring NASCAR driver; Deke Sommers is mechanic. As they feel they collectively are the best, the only thing that is holding them back is money to build the best vehicle possible. As such, they decide to rob a supermarket’s office of the money in its safe to pursue their dream. On the most part, their robbery is successful, although their plan breaks down in its end phase, which doesn’t allow them as much getaway time as they wanted. Another problem they face is an unexpected third person in their getaway, Larry’s one-night stand Mary Coombs, who doesn’t like the fact that Larry ran off on her, although she eventually also says that she doesn’t want any of the money. With a police scanner and two-way radio in their souped-up Dodge Charger, they try to outrun the police, who have an identification of their vehicle, and a general description of the three. The police pursuit is led by the tenacious Sheriff Everett Franklin, who knows he and his team can catch them, but also knows that the three may be able to get out of the state to “freedom” through a grove of walnut trees, which Larry, Deke and Mary may or may not know. At every literal and figurative turn, Larry needs to show his superiority as a driver, while trying to ditch Mary, who is a little more resourceful in staying with them than he anticipates..
Plot: Down-on-their-luck racers Larry and Deke steal from a supermarket manager to buy a car that will help them advance their racing chances. Their escape does not go as planned when Larry’s one-night stand, Mary, tags along for the ride.

“K-i-s-s o-f-f!”
Ostensibly a mindless, flashy car-chase-&-crash B-flick has all the usual drive-in elements, but there’s more going on here than at first appears. Two NASCAR enthusiasts, needing to buy a new entry vehicle, concoct an elaborate plan to rob a grocery store; Larry is the talent behind the wheel, Deke is the contemplative brains of the outfit. Soon they’re saddled with good-time girl Mary, stubborn and sassy, who proves her mettle on a wild ride getting out of town. From Richard Unekis’ book “The Chase”, with a plot that is exactly that, yet the script by Leigh Chapman and Antonio Santean is surprisingly funny and literate and John Hough’s direction is exceptionally tight with very little nonsense. Peter Fonda is appropriately manic, loose and shaggy, and Susan George has fun playing low-class (she has a tough time camouflaging her British accent, but it passes); every time Mary uses her brains, it provides more shading and substance in the character. Adam Roarke is a revelation as accomplice Deke, a sensitive, complicated man with heart and soul; he’s not above larceny–he even masterminds it–but he’s a thinker, and a realist. This film should have broken Roarke as a star in Hollywood, he is incredibly good. Vic Morrow has the standard role of the lawman on the trio’s trail (he plays cat-and-mouse with them, and vice-versa, which is routine) and it’s nice to see Roddy McDowall in a non-hysterical role as the supermarket manager. The chases are terrifically charged with adrenaline and excitement, and while the character animosities are trivial, the movie is stylish and wire-drawn. Apparently a big hit with Quentin Tarantino, who used a film-clip in his “Jackie Brown” (and adopted this picture’s violent, jokey tone as well). Good show: *** from ****

A badly updated Bonnie and Clyde
Imagine all the clichés of early 70s road movies rolled into one. A sub-par Bonnie and Clyde gang; a maverick sheriff who clashes with his by-the-book superior; a series of incompetent Dukes-of-Hazzard-style police chases. You’ve got yourself the plot of DMCL.

Add to that the early 70s obsession with being gritty. The actual robbery sequence (stealing money from Roddy McDowall’s safe while holding his family at gunpoint) is far nastier than it could have been and makes us lose all sympathy for the robbers. Strangely the film then carries on as if this hasn’t happened and mostly (up until the “shock” ending) treats the characters in a light-hearted way. We’re supposed to be on their side, despite one of them (with the complete approval of the other) having broken into someone’s home, pulled a woman violently from the shower and held her and her daughter in a state of fear at gunpoint, then tied them up and left them, while McDowall is frantic about what has happened to them. There is even a threat that the child would be hurt if necessary. And he is shown as being the “good guy” of the gang!

Susan George is oddly miscast as Mary. She unfortunately speaks an unpleasant accent (when she has such a good speaking voice normally). I have no idea why she is dirty, however.

Peter Fonda is Larry, and to be fair, it is easy to see why he is ‘crazy’. Mary is initially attracted to Larry but curiously seems to favour the third gang member (ie the house breaker) later after he gallantly defends her.

The dialogue is either very banal or expositional and the action is the semi-comic no-one-really-gets-hurt car carnage common of the era.

The “shock” ending is heavily telegraphed long before it happens and only seems to be there, like the robbery, be make the film look weightier than it actually is.
