I think I dismissed this film unseen, assuming it was like Rich & Strange (similar title), but I guess I had better watch it now! I have indeed seen that famous shot, but would never have associated it with such an innocuous title.

2021-07-26 07:38:19 +0000 UTCI wonder if the title 'Young and Innocent' is one reason it's less well-known. It definitely not one you should Google.
2021-07-26 07:38:00 +0000 UTCFirst things first, I hope you're enjoying these essays as much as we are. They are always interesting, informative, full of discovery and rediscovery. I remember seeing "Young and Innocent" for the first time and being knocked out of my seat by the audacity of the mine sequence. Who, in their right mind, would even attempt something like that? Concerning how hard it is to get a man-on-the-run story right, it's certainly not a comedy, but when's the last time you looked at "Three Days of the Condor"?
