Cinemental_094 - Bob Fingerman (part one) - The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 ('74)

Our return week chugs on along with the first of two train-themed films that were brought to us by our guest, the amazing writer/ artist Bob Fingerman. First up, "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" starring the late, great Walter Matthau in a real zipper of a movie. Some gun thugs take over a NYC subway car for a million dollar ransom and Matthau, a supervisor of sorts for the NYT and ex-cop gets involved with the process.  A truly unsung classic from the mid-70s. Listen in to hear what we thought of it.
