The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

Entry #125

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)

Directed by Joseph Sargent


I could blather on and on about how The Taking of Pelham One Two Three encapsulates everything great, grimy, and glistening about New York as represented by Hollywood cinema in the 1970’s.   

I could do that…

I’d rather show you the final shot of Pelham and maybe you can pin point the exact moment I fell in love with this movie.  I’d administer a spoiler warning but I don’t think this scene will make much sense if you haven’t seen what preceded it. 

Enjoy!
